The lawyer occupies a status unique to cultures derived from Roman tradition or influenced by the West. This status has been one of great prestige and importance since medieval times and nowhere was it more important than in Spain, where possession of a law degree entitled one to greater economic and social perquisites than most other elite roles. Furthermore, the lawyer was perceived as having specific skills fitting him for the art of ruling, and lawyers therefore occupied very powerful policy-making positions. These aspects of social value and political function were later transplanted to Hispanic America
