Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a lawyer will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.

Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Most lawyers rarely see a courtroom. The work is drafting, negotiating and reading — enormous amounts of reading — and the television version has done the profession no favours.
The free-advice question at parties is universal, and the honest answer is always "it depends", which nobody enjoys hearing.
The billable hour is the joke lawyers make about themselves, usually at 9pm.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Librarian, Lifeguard and Locksmith each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
