Law/Patents - Law (general)
French term or phrase: agissant de tous les droits et prérogative de la profession
Legal notice confirming details of a person who has died.

This is one of several stamps:

"LE BÂTONNIER DE L'ORDRE DES AVOCATS A LA COUR DE AAA SOUSSIGNÉ CERTIFIE CONFORME LA SIGNATURE/APOSÉE
CI-CONTRE
MAÎTRE BBB
AVOCAT PRÈS LADITE COUR ET AGISSANT DE TOUS LES DROITS ET PRÉROGATIVE DE LA PROFESSION
PARIS, LE ..."

I suppose it just means "acting with all the rights... ", but I've never seen this agir de construction.

agree  Eliza Hall

  -> Thank you
agree  philgoddard: It could probably be expressed a bit more concisely (maybe "exercising my professional rights", since a prerogative is a right), but this is the correct meaning.
9 hrs
  -> Absolutely right
neutral  Josephine Cassar: 'in accordance' makes it stilted not natural.

acting with all professional rights and privilege


Explanation:
It's IMO cognate with s'agir de 'acting' non-reflexively and grammatically not agissant 'avec'. Otherwise, I agree with Tony M's idea of 'by virtue of' > pursuant to.

LA SIGNATURE/APOSÉE
CI-CONTRE /DE/
MAÎTRE BBB

It is the approx. Bar Council Chairman confirming the signature of Counsel who is a member of the Bar Assoc. and who, not the Chairman, who is acting as such, with all rights and sing. Prerogative and who is advertsing or confirming the death.

Possibly a Norman-French construction that, on the Channel Islands until 1974 when conveyances of land had been written bilingually NOR FRE > mediaeval ENG would have been translated literally as 'acting of or on all the rights and prerogative of the porofession'.

agree  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: The others aren't wrong, but I think this answer sounds less like a translation and more like something that would actually be seen or heard in the English-speaking world. // Agreed, that makes sense.

  -> Thanks, Michael. I am afraid the other answers are slightly flawd by pluralis/zing 'prérogative'- it's in the singular for a specific reason of LPP - legal professional *privilege* that is a one-off, plus 'acting by' - in the UK - means *represented by*
agree  Josephine Cassar: More flowing and has everything-agree with Michael, that's why
19 hrs
  -> Grazzi, grazie, merci and thanks - also for confirming the idiosyncratic singular of prerogative.
neutral  Eliza Hall: Why change the word? Prerogatives exists in English.
