Subject: [LAW-LIB:57970] How to address attorneys in other countries
I've been asked to find out how to address attorneys in other countries
(Canada, Switzerland, India, England, Russia, etc.). In the U.S, we use
the term Esquire, which I know has English roots. Is Esquire also used
in the United Kingdom? What about other countries? Is there a
resource, preferably one online, showing how to address attorneys in
other countries?
I've searched the web and have engaged the services of a few local
libraries, but have not found anything yet. Thank you for assistance.
Sincerely,
Beth Langton
