1747 Law in Luther's Day

Before Martin Luther became a monk, he was a rather successful student whose father encouraged his path into the study of law. Informed in part by his brief stint in law school and other encounters with lawyers in his day, he developed a distaste and distrust for the profession as a whole. Derek Nelson , coauthor of Resilient Reformer: The Life and Thought of Martin Luther , helps explain what a lawyer did in sixteenth-century Germany, what studying the law would have been like, and what Luther thought about the law.
