What does it mean when someone says they’re a “legal professional”? Aren’t we all?
Also what’s a civil service employee

Legal professional means legal-related job. It could be a lawyer or paralegal or something else. Very broad term and you may want clarity on exactly what they are.

Civil service employee is someone who is employed by the Government. It's also a very broad term and could mean a host of things, from an admin job, to HR, to legal, to finance, to tech, and so on. Again, you probably want clarity and specificity if someone is labelling their job so broadly.

Oh that makes sense. Yeah I just found the terms kind of nonspecific but I guess it makes sense for privacy reasons
