Both seek to decide what is right and wrong. Ethics is more of a personal opinion. Law is the collection of views of society members.

You are incorrect, sorry.\n\nLet us examine this in detail.\n\nLaws are open for interpretation by state courts and the supreme Court.\n\nLets do an example to clarify:\n\nThere is a basic Law against Assault and Battery...Fact.\n\nPerson  A  is in a discussion with Person  B , for no reason at all...Person  A  Punches Person  B  and causes physical harm.\n\nThe law Protects person  B  from assault and Battery.\n\nTwo weeks Later, Person B assaults the Brother of Person  A and causes Bodily injury.\n\nI assure you that Person  B will be charged with Assault and Battery and be convicted by a jury of his Peers.\n\nI hope that this clarifies.

The attorney presents evidence based on whatever they're arguing. It could be someone's testimony, but it could be other types of evidence. This is presented to the "trier of fact" in the case, which is going to be either the jury or the judge, who determines the truthfulness of each side's allegations based the testimony and also on the jury instructions.

Well, what you're calling assault sounds like it might be battery.  \n\nAssault is the attempt, and failure, to commit battery.\n\nBattery is a successful assault.\n\nBoth are misdemeanors, which means you COULD do six months to a year (depending on the type of battery and who it was against), and you COULD get a fine of up to $1,000.

To try to make it simple: The prosecuter tries to put you in the slammer while the defending attorney tries to get you off the hook. \n\nGood defense attorneys make a lot of money while the prosecutors try to provide justice to victims so they have to believe in what they are doing because they don't make near the money. That is also a difference.

"Lawyer" is a generic term for anybody having studied the law, "advocate" is somebody having clients, a lawyer or counsel in the American sense. \n\nSolicitor, finally, is a British term, meaning a lawyer who doesn't go to court (that's what a barrister is for), but peprares briefs or contracts on behalf of a client, and "instructs" a barrister if necessary.

Murder is a criminal offense and as such the accused must be proven guilty in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of his/her peers.  The burden of proof is on the prosecution and the accused does not have to testify.  The accused is entitled to representation by an attorney who will ensure that only admissible evidence is presented and also will cross-exam prosecution witnesses to shake their story and credibility.\n\nThe accused may get off if shown to be innocent, if evidence fails to prove guilt and sometimes on a technicality, such as unreasonable search without a warrant.\n\nOnly an attorney can advise an individual regarding the law.

Attorney's and Lawyers are the same thing.  Just like Cops and Police Officers.

what you described constitutes battery (assault is an ATTEMPT to touch (like making a threat), but if the touching actually took place - it is battery).

Lawyers are very slick and if you are not careful they can weasel you out of your money and without any evidence there is nothing you can do about it. Just make sure you read the fine print.

Assault is to threaten another with harm, or to cause someone to feel that they will be harmed by your actions. When you intentionally or recklessly cause harm to another you have committed battery. Battery also includes offensive contact. You do not have to harm someone to have committed battery. When you threaten to beat someone up you are assaulting them. When you actually beat them up you are committing battery. When you threaten to spit on someone you are assaulting them. When you spit on someone you are committing a battery. When you threaten to touch them against their wishes you are assaulting them. When you actually touch them against their wishes you have committed battery.\n\nThere are also degrees of battery and of assault. You can committ assault, and/or battery without it being a crime. But you also can committ the crimes of assault, battery and assault and battery. I hope this helps...

Was it a related charge?  ie 1st degree murder to 2nd degree murder?  Then there's no material change in the charges and it can proceed.  If they went from shoplifting to assault and battery though they'd have to give time to prepare a defense to that since that was not the orginial charge.

There is an old saying that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.  IF you have a case, get an attorney.
