        That's an accepted answer here, along with solicitors, advocates, and barristers.

          It sound more "advocates". Connected to lawyers from the word "barrister".

          'Loiers. Loyers. Loiars?!'

          I'm a native English speaker, but I just realised I had no idea how to spell 'lawyers'.

          Guess I just have to remember that it has the word 'law' in it.

            Seems like I'll never stop Wondering how many similarities does Swedish have compared to Russian. Адвокаты! (Advokat)s

                I think it's "barristeren."

                "Barrister" in itself isn't a word in Swedish; according to Swedish Wikipedia it's an England and Wales thing. Arnauti says above that "the barristers" are an accepted translation for the sentence.
