Danish term or phrase: advokat (H)
I have a list of lawyers and beside each name there is an abbreviation. Some of them have "fm", which I believe stands for (advokat)fuldmægtig. However most of them have "(H)" beside their name. What could that stand for?

Explanation:
There's an old KudoZ question on this at the link. The first alternative is for a UK audience. ;-) It won't mean a thing to an American lawyer who practices exclusively over here, where the phrase is "admitted to practice".
