ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lawyer

A lawyer is someone who helps people when they have problems with the law. They are like superheroes who know all about the rules and laws that we have to follow. Just like how rules keep us safe when we play a game, laws keep us safe in our community. Lawyers help people when someone has broken the law or when they need help understanding a law. They are like a teacher that explains the rules of the game to other people. Lawyers learn this by reading important things called laws and going to a special school to learn how to use them to help people. People might need a lawyer when they get into trouble with the police, have a disagreement with someone else, or when they need help writing special papers like wills or contracts. Lawyers are important because they know how to solve problems and make sure everyone is treated fairly.
