first lawyer - gauravluthra - 04-08-2024
In medieval England, when the King issued a new law or decree, it would be posted in the town square. As most people were illiterate, they couldn't read it. So, a literate man would stand next to the post and charge people money to tell them what it said.
That man was the first lawyer.
