Legal
counseling and General counseling are two separate terms that should be used
with difference. They are certainly not the words that have the same meanings.
Legal counseling is the advice given on legal matters or matters related to law
and its proceedings. It is important to know that legal counseling is given by
lawyers or advocates who are in need of help regarding matters of dispute,
controversy and the like.
Legal counseling is given as part of
law suits or cases pending on the defendant. Plaintiffs also get legal
counseling from their lawyers in matters relating to the case. They are advised
as to how to proceed with the case. Legal counseling is given in the
professional mode. In other words it can be said that legal counseling is
looked upon as a part of the profession of a lawyer. It is quite natural that a
lawyer is paid fees for imparting legal counseling to his client.
General counseling on the other hand is
counsel or advice given on matters related to general interest such as
education, job placement, career building and the like. It is of two types,
namely, the professional and the service-oriented. In the professional type of
general counseling the practitioner collects fees for guiding a student or a
person as to how to build a career, secure a job overseas or plan for higher
studies. General counseling also aims at solving problems of the people related
to psychology such as anxiety, depression, anger, stress, lack of self
confidence, conflict between couples and the like.
In the service-oriented type of general
counseling the cell forms a part of an educational institution like a college
or a university and it collects no fees since it becomes a part of the
institution. This is the difference between legal and general counseling.
