Origin of Attorney
From Old French 'atorné' (one appointed), past participle of 'atorner' (to assign, appoint), from 'a-' + 'torner' (to turn). Originally a person turned over / appointed to act for another.

Attorney audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "attorney" — a noun, pronounced /əˈtɜːni/, with the stress on "tor".
Narrator: An attorney is someone legally appointed to act on another's behalf — often a lawyer in American usage.
Narrator: In plain English, an attorney acts for you, with legal authority to do so.
Narrator: Its root is turning towards — Old French "atourner", to turn or assign: one turned to act for another.
Narrator: British English keeps the word mainly in one formal phrase — power of attorney.
Narrator: American English uses it as the everyday word for a lawyer — my attorney will call you.
Narrator: The distinction matters — Attorney General is a senior legal officer in both countries, but pronounced differently.
Narrator: Power of attorney is a document, granting someone else legal authority over your affairs.
Narrator: So remember: an attorney is one turned to act for you — a British legal document, an American everyday lawyer.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: American films always say "attorney" for lawyer, but I've only ever heard "power of attorney" in Britain. Same word, different lives?
Speaker B: Exactly! ATTORNEY — from Old French "atourner", turned to act for another — is the everyday word for a lawyer in America, but in Britain it survives mainly in that one formal phrase.
Speaker A: So British people don't say "my attorney"?
Speaker B: Almost never — we'd say "my solicitor" or "my lawyer". Attorney sounds distinctly American unless you're specifically discussing power of attorney or the Attorney General.
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "She gave her son power of attorney"; American: "my attorney will handle the paperwork"; "the district attorney filed charges" — care planning, and courtroom dramas.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Don't confuse ATTORNEY with SOLICITOR and BARRISTER — Britain splits legal roles that America groups under "attorney". And spelling: a-t-t-o-r-n-e-y, easy to mistype the vowels!
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: "Lawyer" the general term, "solicitor" British legal advisor, "barrister" British courtroom advocate, "counsel" the formal address. Attorney keeps the American everyday role and the British legal document!
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "attorney" in AI prompts — it's essential vocabulary for legal-tech and compliance features.
Speaker A: So attorney in a prompt means building for legal professionals or their documents?
Speaker B: Right. For a legal practice tool, you'd write:
Prompt: Build a case management app for an attorney's office, tracking each client's case status, upcoming deadlines, and billable hours logged per matter.
Speaker A: What about the power-of-attorney document?
Speaker B: The document prompt:
Prompt: Create a power-of-attorney form builder that lets a user assign specific powers, generates a formatted PDF, and stores signed copies securely.
Speaker A: Client permissions?
Speaker B: The access-control prompt:
Prompt: Restrict case files in my legal app so only the assigned attorney and their paralegal can view client documents, logging every access attempt.
Speaker A: One more?
Speaker B: The billing prompt:
Prompt: Build a billing dashboard for my attorney client showing hours logged per case this month, with an export button producing a client-ready invoice.
Speaker A: Attorney signals legal precision — permissions, documents, and billing all need extra care.
Speaker B: Exactly — say attorney, and the AI treats data sensitivity and document accuracy as first-class concerns.
