This book is the first monograph to analyse the workings of
Scotland's legal profession in its early modern European context.
It is a comprehensive survey of lawyers working in the local and
central courts; investigating how they interacted with their
clients and with each other, the legal principles governing ethical
practice, and how they fulfilled a social role through providing
free services to the poor and also services to town councils and
other corporations. Based heavily on a wide range of archival
sources, and reflecting the contemporary importance of local
societies of lawyers, John Finlay offers a groundbreaking yet
accessible study of the eighteenth-century legal profession which
adds a new dimension to our knowledge of Enlightenment Scotland.
