Why do lawyers specify that they are “attorneys at law?” Are there some attorneys that are not “at law?”
In: 892
Attorney at law is the term of art – the actual title of being an ‘attorney’ in relation to law. It’s shortened to ‘attorney’ in common discussion, but in other contexts it is given its full title to both be accurate, but also clear that it is indeed an attorney relating to law, not an attorney of some other kind. e.g. power of attorney as others have explained.
