This book analyses the legal literacy, knowledge and skills of
people in premodern and modernizing Europe. It examines how laymen
belonging both to the common people and the elite acquired legal
knowledge and skills, how they used these in advocacy and legal
writing and how legal literacy became an avenue for social
mobility. Taking a comparative approach, contributors consider the
historical contexts of England, Finland, France, Germany, Italy and
Sweden. This book is divided into two main parts. The first part
discusses various groups of legal literates (scriveners, court of
appeal judges and advocates) and their different paths to legal
literacy from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. The second
part analyses the rise of the ownership and production of legal
literature - especially legal books meant for laymen - as means for
acquiring a degree of legal literacy from the eighteenth to the
early twentieth century.
