Which is the diference between attorney and lawyer?

About Albert Camus' The Stranger Let me talk you all about The Stranger, an Albert Camus’ novel. I asume that everybody here has read this clasic book. If you don’t i’ll give you a brief summary: Mersault is a guy that don’t cry after his mother’s death, Mersault would marry María just beacuse she wants this and not because him fall in love with her. He tells that to her. Mersault kills an arab and is sent to the jail (The Cure made a song about that chapter of the book). In the trial, when the judge asks him why he killed the arab, Mersault answer “because of the heat”. The atorney counsels Merasult he have to lie if he wants to save his life. He refuse, Mersault never lies, he always tell the truth, he is an honest man that says what he think. At the end of the book Mersault is sentenced to death. Albert Camus in the prologue of The Stranger’s english version told that what he wanted to do with Mersault was a modern version of Jesuscrist. Someone that were sentenced to death only for believe in the Truth. If everyone behave like Mersault the social building would fall apart. Because of that we need to “enter in the game”, we need the lies, the hypocrisy, the daily rituals that maintain the cohesion of human relationships.
