Ok, question. Why do we say Attorney at Law? Is there some other kind? Like Attorney at Having a Good Time or Attorney at Snowboarding?

May I suggest Attorney at Napping? That’s something I could get behind.

Huh. Attorney is only used in Quebec. The rest of the country uses solicitor or barrister.

#JustCanadianThings I guess.

@unclepj

@unclepj
When they mow their grass are they an attorney at lawn?
@SNerd Ok, I think you’ve won the Internet! 🏆
@unclepj I nominate myself for Attorney at Snacks.
@unclepj @futurebird attorney inlaw is what you call your wife’s divorce attorney

@unclepj Even just regarding the law kind, can we also use other prepositions?

Attorney until Law? Attorney against Law? Attorney similar to Law?

@unclepj Law as opposed to equity, perhaps?

@unclepj

Attorney at CorporateMalfeasance

Attorney at MoneyLaundering

Attorney at Fraud

I could go on, but I think folks get the point

@unclepj @CosmicTraveler I didn’t know this, but “attorney” just means someone appointed to act on your behalf, so “attorney at law” is not redundant, and if you sponsor someone in a snowboarding tournament, I think you could properly call them your “Attorney at Snowboarding”
