Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling serves as both past tense and participle (she lawyered; she has lawyered). The verb is built on the noun lawyer, and most of its uses are intransitive: to practice law, or to argue legalistically. The informal transitive use takes a person as its object and means questioning someone hard until they admit something, as in "they lawyered him for an hour."
