With Lawyers, there is a distinction between the term and Officials. An official is someone who works for a government or bureaucracy. While some lawyers do work for them, others don't as they work for other contexts: alone, law firms, companies, hospitals, public interest groups and basically anyone that wants their skills. For example, Sofie Fatale and Veronica Harrington while being lawyers do not work for a government thus are NOT officials. To sum it up, there is indeed a distinction between the two as with animals and anthropomorphic characters.
