Dear list, Having had enormous assistance with the deciphering of an ancient will I ask for your help again. I have seen numerous of my HARLE ancestors in the Northumberland area listed as witnesses or attorneys to documents,(particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries) but have not found records of their legal training in either the Oxford of Cambridge lists. What training did lawyers receive during this period, and was it more of an 'apprenticeship' situation? Heather Brain Melbourne, Vic. A
