No, we do not address lawyers in any particular way. Mr. or Mrs. is the preferred way to address someone formally. Lawyers do sometimes put "Esq." or "Esquire" at the end of their names.\n\nLawyers do, however, have doctorate degrees. The degree earned at law school is a Juris Doctor or Doctor of Law, so in the technical sense they are doctors.

The way I remember it is if you can replace the word in question with "him" (or "her"--but "him" ends with M so it's easy to remember) then you should use whom, and if "he" (or "she") works, then it's generally "who"\n\n"I should give this to whom?" (because you could say "I should give this to him?" not "I should give this to he?"), or "Who wants this?" ("He wants this?")

Ph.D. is a doctor of philosophy; Ed. D. is a doctor of education.\nMost if not all Pd.D's will require a dissertation.  The requirements for a Doctorate of Education will vary depending on the school and the discipline area.  You should check with the individual school for their degree requirements.   Some disciplines like communications may occasionally allow a video documentary/project or computer program to take the place of the disseration.  \nOf course, if you receive an honorary doctorate, there ar eno degree requirements.

It can't hurt to refer to them as mr. or mrs. Almost no one gets offended by being addressed more formally (truly offended, not the fake my-mother-is-mrs.-jones offended), but many do get offended by being addressed in a way inconsistant with their opinion of respect.\n\nI typically go by either what they say (as in, if the superior himself refers to himself as "Jim" then that's probably what he wants to go by) or what others call him (and your peers - not people higher up than you - call him by his first name, I'd go ahead and do it).\n\nIn emails, I usually try to keep work emails pretty formal and devoid of personal comments.  If I don't KNOW I should use first names, I almost always address them "Mr" or "Ms" (which is the most acceptable abbreviation for women, since it includes married, respectably unmarried, divorced, or widowed).  Of course, when it's a coworker I'm friends with and we goof around in the office, I use a first name.

Yes,\nA physician is another word for doctor.  If you look in your phone book the word physician is used but Dr or doctor is often used.

Very little considering that you can't construct a grammatically correct sentence.\n\n{edit} Muggler --- Nope, no reason to be jealous, I have a PhD and don't want a PHD.  I know the difference between "attain" and "obtain".  I understand that there is no such thing as philosophy of biomedical engineering.  I'm simply pointing out a fact in evidence.  I also understand that the pursuit of education should be for the sake of education and not only about how much you will bank.  Seems a little shallow to me.  Now run along and play in traffic (that comment was rude, by the way, so that you can appreciate the difference).  Thanks for taking the time to voice your opinion about me.  I like to be noticed.

What do you mean by doctor's degree? Medical doctor or Ph.D?\nNeither of them can be converted.\nIf it's a Ph.D., you don't need to convert it. It is usually recognized in most parts of the world.\nIf MD, you need to past the license test and complete internship in that state.

You're right, it's Harry Truman PA-C. However, they may have a PhD degree as well, in which case it becomes Harry Truman PhD, PA-C.  And also, if you're referring to medical doctors, it's Harry Truman, M.D. -- not PhD. PhD refers to someone with a doctorate degree, M.D. denotes Medical Doctor.

No, you want "in a car accident". With "by" you'd need something like "a careless driver"--some kind of person.\n\n"After the graduation" is ok if you've already referred to the graduation as an important event for yourself and him. (For example "he was a guest speaker at my sister's graduation--less than a week after the graduation, he was killed.") If it's his own graduation, use "his"; if he was in your class, use "our". Better still would be "less than a week after graduating, he was killed."\n\nI keep automatically changing "one week" to "a week". "One week" is not wrong, but "a week" means the same and sounds more natural.\n\nSo I'd write this:\nLess than a week after graduating, he was killed in a car accident.

No, but then my self-esteem doesn't ride on the fact that I have a Ph.D.  I don't of course.  I hope to have a doctorate some day, and will be working toward it for years.  But like most of the other people I know who do have Ph.D.s, I'll have no need to use it as a source for anything other than the field I achieved it in. It reminds me of people who brag about their sex lives, usually they aren't getting half as much as the rest of us.  But they need us to believe it, because it makes them feel better about themselves.

I am an expert in expertise. I also have a general knowledge of general knowledge. I think my preference is the pursuit of excellence in the field of excellence so I would have to say I would be an expert in expertology, that would be my preferable preference.
