attorneyship
Counsel's professional role
Attorneyship is the position, office, or status of being an attorney.
The term appears primarily in formal or legal contexts when discussing someone's role or tenure as a legal practitioner.
Her attorneyship began after she passed the bar in 2015.
Like similar -ship formations (professorship, judgeship), it emphasizes the formal capacity rather than the daily work of the profession.
