Lawyers’ Empire: Legal Professions and Cultural Authority, 1780-1950
Lawyers' Professionalism, Colonialism, State Formation, and National Life in Nigeria, 1900-1960: The Fighting Brigade of the People
This essay explores the role of the organized legal profession in relation to British Imperialism, state formation, and independence in Nigeria. Drawing on recent works in the fields of post-colonial legal studies and cultural histories of legal professions, the paper develops an understanding of lawyering and lawyers’ associations as deeply implicated in the myriad cultural projects through which law simultaneously ‘civilizes’ provincials and me…

Locating Hurst
Three aspects of J. Willard Hurst's locatedness strike me as being noteworthy: his identification as a law teacher, in Wisconsin, in the mid-twentieth century United States of America. It mattered immensely, as Ernst shows in this issue, that his life of mind was significantly formed in the period between the world wars. Hurst's work is colored by these environments at every turn. Even assuming that he ranks with the likes of Tocqueville, Bryce, …

Moral Panic at the English Bar: Paternal vs. Commercial Ideologies of Legal Practice in the 1860s
This article examines a period of profound crisis about the English bar. The metaphor of “moral panic” is invoked in assessing the impact of five notorious cases of barristers’ misconduct which riveted public attention between 1859 and 1863. Four of the barristers involved were subjected to “professional discipline” in what was the first spate of disciplinary proceedings for breaches of bar “etiquette.” Professional “ethics” were applied in remar…
Wrestling With Law: (Geographical) Specificity vs. (Legal) Abstraction
This article provides a preliminary reaction to developing work in the field of law and geography from the point of view of a legal academic. Geographical research touching on law is assessed in the context of a discussion of current trends in legal thought and legal scholarship. It is argued that legal scholarship in the 1990s is receptive to interdisciplinary influences in a way which is unprecedented in the past century and that geographers ca…

Exorcising Professional Demons: Charles Rann Kennedy and the Transition to the Modern Bar
History abounds with debates which turn on the seemingly innocuous question as to whether fundamental change did or did not occur in any particular period. Many such controversies are well-known: Was there or was there not a ‘Tudor revolution’? Was there or was there not an ‘agricultural revolution’? What about a ‘great transformation’? A revolutionary change in Canadian government in 1982? A ‘making’ of the English working class? A ‘transformati…
