A Law-writer (or Law writer) is an obsolete term for a tradesman who made hand written fair copies of legal documents before the advent of mechanical typewriters and document copiers. They qualified for the trade by being apprenticed to a master for a period. They were usually employed by law-stationers or offered their services by putting up notices at law courts. The occupation survived to the early twentieth century. Charles Dickens describes the activities of law-writers and law-stationers in his novel Bleak House drawing on his acquaintance with actual practitioners.[1]References1. ^https://books.google.com.au/books?id=NBpn7dFDUtcC&lpg=PA465&ots=1B8V-mQQCe&dq=law%20writer%20occupation&pg=PA465#v=onepage&q=law%20writer%20occupation&f=false 1 : Obsolete occupations |
