Book Synopsis
Until the nineteenth century, the Russian legal system was subject to an administrative hierarchy headed by the tsar, and the courts were expected to enforce, not interpret the law. This title traces the first professional class of legal experts who emerged during the reign of Nicholas I (1826-56).
