This book examines lawyers' contributions to creating and
maintaining the rule of law, one of the pillars of a liberal
democracy. It moves from the European Enlightenment to the modern
day, exploring the role of judges, government lawyers, and private
practitioners in creating, defining, and being defined by, the
demands of modern society. The book is divided into 4 parts
representing the big themes. The first part considers lawyers'
contribution to the growth of constitutionalism, the second, the
formulation of roles and identities, and the third the formation of
values. The fourth part focuses on the challenges faced by lawyers
and the rule of law in the past 50 years, the neoliberal period,
and how they challenge both conceptions of lawyers and the rule of
law. Each part is illustrated by defining events, from the
execution of Charles I, through the Nuremberg Trials, to the
insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump in January 2021.
Although the focus is on England and Wales, parallel developments
in other jurisdictions, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the
USA, are considered. This allows analysis of lawyers' historical
and contemporary engagement with the rule of law in jurisdictional
systems based on the Common Law. Each chapter is thematic, but the
passage through the book is broadly chronological.
