First published in 1972. Shakespeare's writing abounds with legal
terms and allusions and in many of the plays the concept and
working of the law is a significant theme. Shakespeare and the
Lawyers gives a comprehensive survey of what Shakespeare wrote
about the law and lawyers, and what has been written, particularly
by lawyers, about Shakespeare's life and works in relation to the
law. The book first reviews the recorded facts about Shakespeare's
life and works, and his connection with the Inns of Court. It then
discusses legal terms, allusions and plots in the plays;
Shakespeare's treatment of the problems of law, justice and
government; his description of lawyers and officers of the law; his
references to actual legal personalities; and his trial scenes. Two
further chapters consider the criticisms that have been made of
Shakespeare's law, and the contribution to Shakespeare studies by
lawyers.
