are commonly prepared by lawyers. Good drafting is important to avoid adverse
consequences. In this respect drafting is a form of preventive law.
       Negotiator
      (6) The lawyer possesses negotiating skills. The role of the negotiator is akin to that
of the advocate. The lawyer presents the client’s strongest arguments in order to achieve
the best result possible. Negotiation may be necessitated by a dispute with a regulatory
agency, another business, or the customer. Successful negotiation resulting in a
settlement often avoids costly suits, work stoppages, and other undesirable economic
consequences.
       Advocate
      (7) In the capacity of an advocate, the lawyer is called upon to represent the client’s
interest. This may occur in a court, before an administrative agency or a legislative body,
or in another arena. The lawyer’s duty, as an advocate, is to present the fact and the law
in the light most favorable to the client. Of course, the opponent’s lawyer will be doing
the same. This is the adversary system which enables the judge or other hearing officers
to examine the full range of arguments before arriving at a reasoned decision.
