The historical changes of ancient civilizations
In what we call historical changes that the legal profession has suffered, this begins as the first judgments that occurred in the first ancient civilizations, starting from the Mesopotamian civilization until they reached the Roman the latter had, a more complex system; Focusing on Mesopotamamics it had a jurisdiction where the monarch maintained power, the amurebi code can be emphasized, although it is true this is one of the oldest positive law that is had to date, it needed to be explained, there appears what the that could be called lawyers who explained if the rules were not complied with that was going to happen to them.
If we move ancient to Greece, I am part of a fundamental role for the legal systems and policy of today, the idea is resumed in Greece about the city-states of tenas that was a pioneer in democracy and that this calls Democracy is a fundamental part for the development of societies.
"Athens the polis extended the literacy process to the highest number of people out of the limits imposed by the aristocratic elite"
Regarding the text we see how the Athenian society takes another step to equality seeking change in all the systems imposed by an aristocracy that wanted them illiterate to have a better control of the inhabitants, where education was only for them and not for everyone else; When a system is broken that harms many and benefits little, it is when there is a change of system where the Athenian society begins to free from the problem and makes free in the decisions of the city; With this type of equality, democracy is created for the first time another system that included the Athenian citizen providing him with the right to participation in decision making.
When the Athenian society has equal, but that does not justify that all the inhabitant of this has it, in the slave era where Athens belonged the means of production were the slaves where this was a well acquired.
But Athens’ struggle was a great step for human society and for jurisdiction and a system change in its entirety that would continue to the future where change is indispensable for the world societies.
While Roman society begins to have a more complex legal system than other civilizations, but this at first was not so, these people who maintained a trial and self-defined since legal norms were not so complex from the beginning could defend themselves , but there was the jurisconsult that this gave him advice that he could do so that he could defend himself at the trial, but he did not have a remuneration by the Council, when the Roman legal system became complex this jurisconsult Prepare more to give advice, from here this person begins to have a source of admission to give their advice to people, when these court began to make more complex the idea that a jurisconsult intervened in your judgment and this defend you, it would defend you, it would defend you, it would defend you, From there the lawyer begins to leave as someone important in society. This in ancient Rome towards an assistance work without having remuneration, but as time went by these began to have a change, because the people who helped began to give gifts, they were transformed into coins, thus entering into a mercantilist profession, who earned money for exchange of services as a defender or as a legal advisor.
An interesting achievement of the Roman procedural system was the requirement of relative parity in the professionalism of defense; It was sought that lawyers were comparable in wisdom and experience, not to face a seasoned and distinguished speaker with an inexperienced. In addition, rules to dispense legal assistance to the most disadvantaged classes were promulgated.
The fundamental role of the lawyer begins to keep fruits in preparing as a professional and for this this professional must have all kinds of legal knowledge that for the time was complex compared to previous years where this was simple and anyone could defend; The oratory system was essential for the lawyer, this must have a scenic domain and apart from an indispensable preparation in the issue that he enters sponsor since they defended the least favorable part of the time.
While a reference of the different legal professions is true and what was the role of each of these, teaches us that the ancient courts were complex where they obtained a similarity with what we have now but with some difference, the support was shown Legal that the lawyer must have at the time to defend his client and they needed support from the jurisconsults that they should be called the first jurist because they had knowledge in what they were and that it was not only the lawyer but that it helped that the Judge’s decision is more fair.
