Of all the definitions I've found, this is probably the one I like the most. That's not to say I like it, just that I like it the most. Why is that? I like that representation in court is the last part of the definition, not the first. That's how it should be - court should be last. If the family lawyer is doing her job, she is counseling and advising her client so that they can make the decisions necessary to get on with their lives and move forward. The family lawyer also advocates for her client by supporting and promoting the client's interests after helping the client examine and determine those interests. That's all hard work; in comparison, going to court is easy.
