In the United States of America, the term counselor-at-law designates, specifically, an attorney admitted to [[practice]] in all courts of [[law]]; but as the United States legal [[system]] makes no formal division of the legal profession into two classes, as in England, most US citizens use the term loosely in the same sense as lawyer, meaning one who versed in (or practising) law.

In the United States and Canada, many large and midsize law firms have lawyers with the job title of "counsel", "special counsel" or "of counsel". These lawyers are employees of the firm like associates, although some firms have an independent contractor [[relationship]] with them. But unlike associates, and more like partners, they generally have their own clients, manage their own files, and supervise associates. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counsel]
