Attorney vs Lawyer
What is the difference between 'attorney' and 'lawyer' ?
I looked it in a dictionary ( Longman Dictionary of American English ) and both of them seems to be the same thing.

They're the same. A lawyer is an attorney and an attorney is a lawyer. Lawyers have also passed the bar exam. Someone who has not passed the bar may not call themselves a lawyer or an attorney.

They are the same thing, but not used interchangeably in all contexts.
Most people talk about lawyers in normal speech and would seldom say "my attorney".
"Attorney", especially as a singular noun is used for government officials such as "Attorney General" - such officers are seldom called "lawyer"

An attorney and a lawyer are the same thing but the big difference is attorneys have to pass the BAR exam. Lawyers graduate law school. Overall an attorney has more power albeit very minor difference.
