This is the first book that directly addresses the cultural history
of the legal profession. An international team of scholars
canvasses wide-ranging issues concerning the culture of the legal
profession and the wider cultural significance of lawyers,including
consideration of the relation to cultural processes of state
formation and colonisation. The essays describe and analyse
significant aspects of the cultural history of the legal profession
in England, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden,
Switzerland, Norway and Finland. The book seeks to understand the
complex ways in which lawyers were imaginatively and
institutionally constructed, and their larger cultural
significance. It illustrates both the diversity and the potential
of a cultural approach to lawyers in history. Contents:
