Traces the history of legal practice from its genesis in ancient Rome to its rebirth in the early Middle Ages and eventual resurgence in the courts of the medieval church. This title demonstrates that many features that characterize legal advocacy were already in place by 1250.

Trade Review
"This book... has been forty years in the making, and given its richness, the reader can be grateful for those decades of research." - Review of Metaphysics "James Brundage tells us a new law book cost on average about thirty-five Bolognese pounds, more than some houses. Today's students, scholars, and lawyers will welcome this very learned and much more affordable volume." - John Hudson, Times Literary Supplement"
