We all appreciate innovation and creativity, especially when it adds a bit of humor to our professional lives. Speaking of which, how often have you thought that the traditional job titles for legal practitioners could do with a touch of color? Attorneys, counselors, solicitors, barristers, prosecutors – these are all terms we’re well used to, but how about a new addition to the mix?
Enter – the term “attack librarian”, as coined in a recent post on Above the Law. This brilliant term brings together two key aspects of lawyering: the propensity for research and a knack for argument. Doesn’t it sound like a fresh and captivating upgrade to the traditional labels we associate with lawyers?
Before you get confused, let me clarify – it’s not advisable to refer to a lawyer as a doctor. That’s a different profession and it would simply be a faux pas, as discussed here. But, this new phrase – attack librarian – is one to remember. It seems we have a new term to inject a little vitality into legal and corporate dialog.
So, next time you’re introducing yourself or your legal colleague, why not try using “attack librarian”? You might find it brings a surprising dash of joy to your day.

While we’re on the topic of enjoyable content, Kathryn Rubino, a Senior Editor at Above the Law and host of The Jabot podcast and co-host of Thinking Like A Lawyer, deserves a mention. Her work breaks up the monotony of traditional legal content and brings a fresh perspective, which is something we all can appreciate.
As we continue to navigate the world of law, may we do so with a blend of seriousness and humor, precision and creativity, just like an attack librarian would.
