[edit] Inacurate information?

In Europe there are two classes of lawyers, the jurists and what is in many places known as advocates.

In Belgium we use the English term lawyer for everyone who can plea (you have to do a 3 years internship for that). People who have studied law and are not a lawyer because they haven't done their internship are referred to with the general term jurists (but lawyers are part of the jurists too). To speak in Venn diagram's terms: if jurists and lawyers are two concentric circles (or Venn diagrams). Jurists is the outer one and lawyers the inner. The quote implies that jurists excludes lawyers.

In Continental law (as apposed to Anglo-American law) there are no 2 types of lawyers in the sense of barristers and solicitors (in England).
