The legal profession has a rich and diverse history, spanning centuries and continents. From the renowned scholars like Ghaus al-Azam and Abdul Qadir Ghilani of Baghdad in the 1800s to the Special Commission at the Royal Courts of Justice in 1888, this field has always been at the forefront of justice. In Charles Samuel Keene's "Solicitor and Client" from 1870/91, we catch a glimpse of the intricate relationship between lawyers and their clients. The trust placed in legal professionals is evident as they navigate through complex cases with diligence and expertise. "Theophile Alexandre Steinlen's 'One Robs on the Side of Law' depicts an intriguing aspect of the legal profession - those who exploit it for personal gain. This thought-provoking artwork reminds us that even within this noble field, there can be individuals who manipulate its principles. " Honore Daumier's "Study of a Lawyer" captures both humor and truth as he portrays lawyers engaged in animated conversation. It serves as a reminder that behind every case lies passionate advocates dedicated to upholding justice. Palace Corridor Scene; Scene de Couloir au Palais by an unknown artist showcases how law intertwines with power structures. The grandeur depicted highlights how influential figures seek guidance from legal experts to maintain order within society. In "The Family Lawyer, " painted by an anonymous artist in 1857, we witness familial dynamics intersecting with law. This painting illustrates how attorneys often become pillars of support for families during times of crisis or decision-making processes. A pen-and-wash drawing titled "Two Lawyers shaking Hands" transports us back to early nineteenth-century interactions between legal practitioners. It symbolizes collaboration, mutual respect, and shared goals towards achieving justice for their clients. Breaking gender barriers is exemplified by a vibrant lithograph featuring a female lawyer. This image challenges traditional norms while celebrating women's contributions to this esteemed profession.
