The Chronicles of Law Profession

January 21st, 2010

There are no accounts of when exactly the legal profession flourished. However, history says that long before the Common Era, people depended on individuals who were knowledgeable of their laws to defend their arguments in courts when they got into conflicts with others. These law experts and defenders are those who have emerged today as lawyers or attorneys.

When we speak of laws, it does not necessarily mean that we should only tackle those rules and regulations set by the authorities. Dealing with it implies understanding the concepts of justice, human rights and responsibilities to others and most especially the accepted rights and wrongs in the society. It is therefore more precise to think of law as the application of principles that are assumed just and appropriate in a specific dealing or situation.

Today, we may say that the legal professionals are segregated in their particular line of specialization since a single lawyer may not have the capacity to focus his attention in all the broad issues defining law practice. Some of the major areas of law are:

• International law

• Constitutional law

• Criminal law

• Cyber law

• Business law

• Labor law

• Family law

• Immigration law

• Intellectual Property law

• Military law

• Maritime law

• Statutory law

• Social Security law

• Tort law

• Taxation law » Read more: The Chronicles of Law Profession
