| Summary |
Offering a window into the history of the modern legal profession in Western Europe, Jacobson presents a history of lawyers in the most industrialized city on the Mediterranean. Far from being mere curators of static law, Barcelona's lawyers were at the center of social conflict and political and economic change, mediating between state, family, and society. Jacobson provides fresh insight into European social and legal history; the origins of liberal professionalism; the education, training, and practice of law in the 19th century; the expansion of continental bureaucracies; and the corporati. |
