The term 'Avvocato sac.' comes up in an Italian annulment decree, I assume this is some form of canonical lawyer? Any input appreciated!

Lawyer of the Roman Rota
Assuming that you meant Sac.
The Roman Rota, formally the Apostolic Tribunal of the Roman Rota (Latin: Tribunal Apostolicum Rotae Romanae), and anciently the Apostolic Court of Audience, is the highest appellate tribunal of the Catholic Church, with respect to both Latin-rite members[1] and the Eastern-rite members[2] and is, with respect to judicial trials conducted in the Catholic Church, the highest ecclesiastical court constituted by the Holy See.

Lawyer Priest XXXXX (Esq.)
Sac for sacerdote, assuming that it's Sac and not Saz.
Not all Rotal lawyers are priests. Please see this reference below.
