A lawyer (also known as an attorney, advocate, or litigator) was a person who represented the interests of a person or group, for example, in a court of law. They also defended or prosecuted in Starfleet court martial cases. (TOS: "Court Martial")
Lawyers serving in Starfleet may be assigned to the office of the Judge Advocate General. (TOS: "Court Martial"; TNG: "The Measure Of A Man")
On Earth after a nuclear war circa 2079, lawyers were, for a time, abolished by execution. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") However, in the Federation, lawyers existed in the 23rd and 24th centuries.
Jean-Luc Picard, while involved in an arbitration regarding the Contract of Ardra, noted that his reputation as a litigator was at stake, as well as his "immortal soul". (TNG: "Devil's Due")
"Conservator" was the Cardassian equivalent of a criminal defense lawyer, although his role was actually not to acquit the accused but rather to prepare the accused to acknowledge and confess the crime(s) charged. The accused was also advised by a Nestor, who was an officer of, but not allowed to address, the Cardassian court. (DS9: "Tribunal")
"Legal intercessor" was a possible Romulan equivalent of a lawyer. (TNG: "Unification I")
The Klingons termed their equivalent defending lawyers "Advocates". (ENT: "Judgment"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; DS9: "Rules of Engagement")
After Kay Eaton disagreed with her husband Julius' idea on what to do with Benny Russell's Deep Space Nine story, Herbert Rossoff told her "You tell him, Kay. I know a good divorce lawyer if you need one." (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
After he was arrested by Odo for smuggling kemacite, Quark told Rom to get him a lawyer. Rom suggested that he would contact Gaila for one. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
Starfleet officers of Commander rank or above could be called upon to serve as attorneys on an ad hoc basis in situations where no other legal staff was available or in matters involving personnel under their command. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man", "The Drumhead", DS9: "Dax", "Rules of Engagement", VOY: "Author, Author")
