The term “perjury” refers specifically to making a false statement under oath. It’s rare for lawyers to commit perjury for the simple reason that lawyers generally do not make statements under oath—that’s what witnesses do.

I also believe perjury can be applied to lawyers who intentionally misrepresent facts or omit critical evidence. Maybe the charge would not be perjury as such, but it would rise to that level.
