The attorney at law answers to the procurator of the civilians ,
to the solicitor in chancery ,
and to the proctor in the ecclesiastical and admiralty courts ,
and all of these are comprehended under the more general term lawyer .
In Great Britain and in some states of the United States ,
attorneys are distinguished from counselors in that the business of the former is to carry on the practical and formal parts of the suit .
In many states of the United States however ,
no such distinction exists .
In England ,
since 1873 ,
attorneys at law are by statute called solicitors .
