When Lawyers Were Illegal

Giovanni_Pauolo_Panini_-_Fantasy_View_with_the_Pantheon_and_other_Monuments_of_Ancient_Rome_-_Google_Art_Project-300x214.jpgIn ancient times, lawyers were forbidden to accept pay for pleading another’s case. What ruler finally ended that practice, allowing lawyers to practice openly, but severely limiting their fees?

Hint: Lawyers were limited to collecting 10,000 sesterces for their efforts, which should help you figure out what civilization we’re talking about.

See the answer on the next page.
