The Historical Evolution of the Legal Profession
Who Is a Lawyer? The Role and Importance of Advocacy
A lawyer is a legal professional who protects the rights of individuals and institutions, represents them in court, and provides legal advice. As one of the foundational pillars of the judiciary, lawyers ensure access to justice and uphold the rule of law. They not only represent clients in litigation but also prevent legal issues through timely consultancy, playing an indispensable role in maintaining legal order.
Ancient Roots: Greece and Rome
The foundations of modern advocacy trace back to Ancient Greece and Rome. In Athens, individuals had to represent themselves, but persuasive orators often spoke on others' behalf, albeit unofficially. In Rome, advocates (advocatus) and legal scholars (jurisconsultus) gradually professionalized the field, especially after Emperor Claudius legalized fee-based advocacy in the 1st century AD.
The Middle Ages and Early Modern Era
Although advocacy weakened post-Rome, the medieval church courts preserved the role of legal defenders. By the 12th century, legal education revived, especially in Italy (e.g., Bologna University). By the 13th century, both church and state regulated the legal profession, requiring oaths and competence, which formalized the lawyer’s status.
In early modern Europe, bar associations and legal guilds emerged. In England, barristers and solicitors were distinguished. Across Europe, increased legal complexity necessitated highly educated and ethical advocates.
Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic
In the Ottoman Empire, Western-style legal reforms in the 19th century introduced formal advocacy. The Istanbul Bar Association, founded in 1878, marked the beginning of institutionalized legal practice. The Turkish Republic modernized the legal system, culminating in the Attorneyship Law No. 1136 in the 1960s, which still governs the profession today. The Union of Turkish Bar Associations was established in 1970 to unify legal standards nationwide.
Law in the 21st Century: Specialization and Innovation
Legal systems today are complex and require specialization. Technological advances, globalization, and evolving societal needs have given rise to niche fields such as data law, capital markets, and international law. Clients now seek lawyers who are deeply knowledgeable in specific areas.
Bilal Alyar and his team embody this modern specialization, offering a wide range of legal expertise—from traditional fields like civil and criminal law to cutting-edge domains like IT and blockchain law. We are committed to delivering sophisticated legal services tailored to today’s dynamic challenges.
