It depends on the target audience... Explanation: I would agree and delete all the titles if the list is for the consumption of an audience that wouldn't care about this sort of things, for example if the association is a charitable one, weather the president is a doctor or a lawyer, who cares? If the context is more formal, in the US, for "Avv." I would use "Esq." FOLLOWING the name (i.e. "Joseph Schmoe, Esq."). My husband (who unfortunately is a lawyer!) finds this quite pretentious! For "Prof." I think you can use it as is. For a formal academic context, you might have to find out the actual degrees and use "Ph.D" (or whatever else) following the name. Good luck, Floriana |

peer agreement (net): +1solicitor , barrister Explanation: here in the UK the lawyer profession is divided into two fields: the solicitor who doesn't go to court, and the barrister who does. Advocate is s.body who supports s.thing. As per your question I guess you can put Mr. So and So, lawyer hope it helps |

Lawyer/Attorney, Professor, etc. Explanation: Per alcune professioni, ho visto anche omettere il titolo (in alcuni casi il titolo professionale segue e non precede il nome!)ed usare "Esq./Esquire". HTH Maria Elena |
