First published in 1981, Lawyers in Early Modern Europe and America
aims to present a convenient conspectus on the legal professions in
early modern Europe, Scotland, France Spain and Colonial America,
and to provide a comparative perspective on the place of the legal
profession in Western societies before the Industrial Revolution.
The main themes covered by each contributor are: the status, number
and vocational functions of the different classes or groups or
lawyers; their social origins; education and career patterns;
relations between lawyers and clients, other occupations and
status-groups and the state; the extent of legal
‘professionalisation’ and the role of lawyers as
‘modernisers’ in cultural, economic, political and social
terms. This book will be of interest to students of history, law
and political science.
