The Lawyer or proctor

Also proctor

In their time

From the thirteenth century English law bred its own profession: serjeants-at-law pleaded in the royal courts at Westminster, apprentices of the law trained at what became the Inns of Court, and attorneys handled clients' business. Church courts had their own advocates and proctors, trained in canon law, who dealt with marriage, wills and defamation cases. Lawyers were well paid and often resented, and a successful one could rise into the landed gentry.
