The Legal Saints

From Paris he went to Orleans to complete his studies in Roman law; for this subject was not taught in Paris at that time. It was during his last three years of study in Orleans (probably) that the famous incident of the widow of Tours took place – the only one of his hundreds of cases to which tradition has attached legal details. Here are four of those saints who practiced the law with a desire to serve God above all else. In addition to Saint Ivo, there are many other patron saints who represent lawyers. Here are some of them. [2]. Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Franciscan Media, A Nonprofit Ministry of the Franciscan Friars, www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-catherine-of-alexandria/ (last accessed October 10, 2020), states that she is the patron saint of lawyers, librarians, philosophers, students and teachers. But see St. Catherine of Alexandria, Catholic Online, Project of Your Catholic Voice Foundation, www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=341 (last accessed October 10, 2020), classifying her as the patron saint of students, unmarried girls, and apologists. I am not a Catholic scholar, so I will not try to solve this problem.

A life of true and constant altruism, full of good deeds and devoted solely to immediate duty, will know all the reverence of others and will even exert a worldwide influence. This is the moral to be drawn from the life of Ervoan Heloury Kermartin de Tréguier in Brittany, who was later celebrated as Saint Ivo (or Yves), patron saint of the legal profession. His biography has been written a dozen times over the past centuries.1 But a brief sketch from the jurist`s point of view will suffice to explain why the people wanted to include him in the calendar of saints. Lord. Hamilton`s legal defense in my case was beyond that! Very resourceful, compassionate, committed! He is professional, down to earth and committed to fighting a good fight to the end. I would recommend Mr. Hamilton to anyone who needs a DUI defense! Observing all the statues and small chapels in the churches made me read a little about the saints. As you may know, there are patron saints for many things. My curious mind asked, who is the patron saint of lawyers? I discovered that there are at least two – St. Yves (Ives) or Ivo and St. Thomas More. [1] Saint Catherine of Alexandria is also considered the patron saint of lawyers because of her rhetorical skills.

[2] This article focuses on Saint-Yves. It is therefore not surprising that lawyers, law students and all actors in the legal field also have their own patron saint. Here`s everything you need to know about the patron saints that many of us pay attention to in the legal field. For all those who practice a legal profession of which he is the patron saint, he remains the voice of justice, destined for reconciliation and peace, in order to create new relationships between individuals and communities and to build a more impartial society. My goal is to defend or represent your rights as if they were my own. In other words, my goal is to pursue all possible legal proceedings on your behalf and to act as quickly and comprehensively as possible. No wonder the movement to declare him a saint has received widespread support. And finally, on May 19, 1347, Pope Clement VI, in a solemn consistory, ordered that his name be inscribed in the calendar of saints. Since then, this day has been his holy day, on which his name is paid tribute. [1]. Saint Yves de Kermartin, Catholic Online, www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=5785 (accessed October 10, 2020); St. Thomas More, Catholic Online, www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=324 (last accessed October 10, 2020).

So if you`re a Catholic or Christian lawyer interested in displaying a saint or two in your office, why not make a picture of those saints? Mr. Robert Hamilton is an excellent lawyer. If your back is against the wall, this is the man you want in your corner!!! I hope I don`t need him anymore, but I`ll definitely call him when I do. Thank you very much for the excellent work!!! 5 out of 5 stars (5 being the best) It was a fairly thorough cross-examination, and the law professor was a convincing witness. And he had pursued this career as an ordinary man, under the same daily conditions that surround every lawyer and judge at all times in every country.

May it be grounded in our aspirations as an example of the ideal of justice that can be attained in real life by a member of our profession!

Ozanam was an ardent advocate for the poor and founded an organization called the Conference of Charity, which later became known as the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul. He studied law in Paris in 1834 and obtained his doctorate in law in 1836. After obtaining his doctorate in literature in 1839, he was appointed professor of commercial law at Lyon in 1840. He then became a professor of literature at the Sorbonne, but continued to advocate for justice for the poor in his newly founded society. Already at university, his disinterested and ascetic lifestyle was established. He slept only on a pallet of straw; he wore the most modest clothes; He gave the money that came to him; And often he shared his meals with the poor. Throughout his life (as confirmed by many eyewitnesses in the canonization process), this was the continuous narrative – living on the bare necessities of shelter and clothing, sharing money, clothing and food with the needy, and giving alms for free to the wretched beggars.
