Best Answer

Yes. A lawyer can continue practicing law until his/her license to practice is revoked by the state bar association. Sometimes, an arrest or a crime will lead to this revocation, but not always. It depends on the reason for the arrest, and the outcome of the criminal prosecution.

Who are lawyers and who are not lawyers?

A lawyer is, in general terms, a person who has been licensed to practice law. However, in technical legal terms, a lawyer is simply a person who has studied the law (perhaps with a law degree from a certified school), but has not been admitted to practice law. An unlicensed lawyer (or anyone else) giving legal advice could be committing "unauthorized practice of law". An "attorney", on the other hand, is a lawyer who has a license to practice law. Many lawyers never get licensed or do not "practice" in the sense of advising clients on the law.
