The Man of Law

Part One - A Brief Summary
The Man of Law, or Sergeant at Law, is the equivelant of a modern-day lawyer. Since there was apparently a need for lawyers in this time, we know that this was a time that had rules and laws that needed to be enforced, sometimes requiring the assistance of a lawyer. Lawyers had the social status of middle class.

This particular lawyer often settled disputes, usually about land. Unfortunately, we don't know a lot about this particular Man of Law, other than the fact that he was generally regarded as wise.
