That's an excellent description.

Do you ever go to the counties where they call you, "Attorney [So-and-So]"? I can't handle that. I cannot stand referring to someone as "Attorney ________."

And yet I've been compelled to do it because everyone in the courtroom looks at you like a dick if you use "Mister."

I am now in my first state court case of my whole career. I cannot remember any federal court where that was the practice.
