This comprehensive book delves into the profound impact of lawyers on the establishment and preservation of the rule of law, which serves as a cornerstone of a liberal democracy. Spanning from the European Enlightenment to the present day, it explores the intricate roles of judges, government lawyers, and private practitioners in shaping, defining, and being shaped by the ever-evolving demands of modern society. The book is organized into four distinct parts, each representing a major theme. The first part examines the crucial role of lawyers in fostering the growth of constitutionalism. The second part delves into the formulation of roles and identities within the legal profession. The third part explores the formation of values that guide lawyers in their work. The fourth part focuses on the challenges faced by lawyers and the rule of law in the past fifty years, particularly during the neoliberal period. Through a series of defining events, ranging from the execution of Charles I to the Nuremberg Trials and the insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump in January 2021, the book provides a rich historical and contemporary perspective. While the primary focus lies in England and Wales, parallel developments in other jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, are also considered, allowing for an analysis of lawyers' historical and contemporary engagement with the rule of law within jurisdictional systems based on the Common Law. Each chapter in the book is thematic, yet the narrative flows in a broadly chronological manner. This comprehensive exploration of lawyers' contributions to the rule of law offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of legal systems and their role in shaping the world we live in today.
