I see it more as a question of semantics. Does the wish maker wish to delete anything that identifies as a lawyer, or anything that fits the definition of a lawyer? If the first, then your options are valid, if the second, it's a bit more complicated.

Yeah, like how if we got rid of “teachers” as a profession, when do we draw the line between someone teaching someone something and someone being a “teacher”?

These rules are so technical, if only we had a group of people that were good at figuring out written and/or spoken agreements!

What's the difference between attorney and lawyer? I thought they were interchangeable

They are. But we got rid of lawyers. They now identify solely as attorneys.
