proxy counsel for the defence

Plaintiff Ioan Sandra answered the public hearing's roll call through Alexandru Octavian, proxy counsel for the defence.

"public attorney" is not a defense lawyer, but a prosecutor.

"Procurator avocat" is a person (not necessarily a qualified lawyer or jurist) who has been given power of attorney to represent someone's interests in a court of law.
