Document Summary
The first legal professional" was guillaume adouart around 1649 and during these times, avocats (barristars) were not allowed in new france. This was until the british conquest and the treaty of paris of 1763, which gave rise to a hybrid system where barristers could appear in the court of the pleas only. Until 1835 where they gained access to criminal cases. Louis-guillaume verrier created a structure on legal education in 1773; this was used to train assessors woking before the sovereign council to rule the colony. In the imperial period, (44 bc to 410 bc) we see the profession" of lawyers emerging: a paid agent allowed to appear in the place of another person. Law becomes progressively a professionalized tool of social control of market control". The origin of the legal profession (law) goes back to rome. The successful assertion of unchallenged authority over some area of knowledge and its instrumentalization.
