A heart-throb attorney. A lawyer of luuuuurve. The kind that was on LA Law, only practicing in one of the Frankish jursidictions.

Not to be confused with a divorce lawyer, or an avocat à la cour, who is simply a lawyer from Belgium. Or Luxembourg, come to think of it. Or France. Of course, the two are by no means mutually exclusive — indeed, I dare say they are rather well correlated. But nor are they synonymous.

Also, not a Dutch egg liqueur.
