Spanish term

abogado T. 80 F.137

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Hello

I was hoping you could help me with the translation of the 'T' and 'F' here:

'abogado T. 80 F.137 CPACF'

CPACF referes to (Colegio Público de la Abogacía de la Capital Federal [Bar Association of the Federal Capital]

From my research I think T is referring to ' T Shaped Lawyer'? But I'm not sure...

Any help would be much appreciated.

This made me laugh a lot! Thank you for clarifying once again :)

I have worked... for the Courts service and a firm of lawyers for more than 40 years but I have never yet come across a T-shaped lawyer, although I must say that some of them were very broad-shouldered.

tomo, folio

I'd say something like 'Buenos Aires register of attorneys, volume 80, page 137'.

lawyer, Volume 80, Page 137, Bar Association of the Federal Capital

Hi Arabella,

Your query is an interesting one, and I'm glad to offer some guidance on it. In the context of 'abogado T. 80 F.137 CPACF,' the 'T' and 'F' don't refer to the concept of a 'T Shaped Lawyer.' Instead, they are abbreviations commonly used in legal and administrative contexts in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly within the realm of professional registries or records.

The 'T' stands for "Tomo," which translates to "Volume" in English. It refers to the specific volume or book in a series where official records are kept, in this case, within the registry of the Colegio Público de Abogacía de la Capital Federal (CPACF). The number following 'T' indicates the volume number where this particular lawyer's information can be found.

The 'F' stands for "Folio," which is directly translated to "Folio" or "Page" in English. It refers to the specific page within the volume (Tomo) where the lawyer's registration details are recorded. The number after 'F' is the page number.

So, in your case, 'abogado T. 80 F.137 CPACF' would translate to "lawyer, Volume 80, Page 137, Bar Association of the Federal Capital." This provides a precise reference to the lawyer's registration details in the CPACF's official records.

The confusion with 'T Shaped Lawyer' is understandable, as the term 'T' does have multiple meanings across different contexts. 'T Shaped Lawyer' is a concept referring to lawyers who possess deep legal expertise in a particular area (the vertical bar of the 'T') along with the ability to collaborate across many disciplines unrelated to law (the horizontal bar of the 'T'), but it's not applicable in this administrative context.

I hope this clears up the confusion and helps you with your translation!
