History of Vancouver Lawyers

The history of Vancouver lawyers and in reality the legal profession dates back centuries almost to the beginning of civilization to a time where it was not the lawyer who settled disputes but the local village or city religious high priest or other elder who would hear the complaints and differences of the people and attempt to settle any disputes that arose among them.
