Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer As Civic Linchpin In
Where Did All the Lawyers Go? Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer as Civic Linchpin in New Haven: 1830‐1890 By: Leslie Esbrook1 ‐But above all a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to private trust and to public duty, as an honest man and as a patriotic and loyal citizen. –The Final Prays of the Canon of Ethics2 Lawyers have traditionally been portrayed as models for civic representation, epitomized by their role in the founding of the Republic. In recent studies a consensus has formed around the idea that the legal profession lost its civic‐mindedness, sometime between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Consequently, the story goes, lawyers have lost a key part of the profession that elevated the law to a higher plane compared to other career paths. This paper will explore the history of this shift using New Haven and the greater Connecticut forum for empirical data. The paper will challenge the historical narrative by detailing internal inconsistencies amongst leading scholars, both in terms of time frame of decline and the amount and kind of civic participation envisioned as exemplary. I will show that, at least at the local level in New Haven, the shift of lawyers as history remembers did not occur in a radical, sudden fashion at all; by the end of the century a non‐trivial amount of lawyers continued to fully participate in civic life. Finally, I will track prevalent theories behind the myth of the lawyer’s civic decline and superimpose them on the facts relative to New Haven to show that the conflicting results accrued from the data support the absence of causal findings for the current theories in vogue. -

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy. -

Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor. -

Public Records of The
The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series. -

We shall have an impressive variety of presentations, including 6 sessions on art and archaeology and 12 on pedagogy. (Secondary teachers, here's a perfect opportunity to get the CEUs you need for professional development!) There will be a host of papers on religion, history, philosophy, and the classical tradition, and on every author from Apollonius to Ovid, in addition to panels on every topic from "The Odyssey's Cyclopean Episode in Theater, Film, and Art" to the history of CAMWS itself. Both the staff of the Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin and the members of the local arrangements committee have been nothing short of wonderful in making sure that the 2005 meeting will be one that you will never forget. I am particularly grateful to Victoria Pagán, the chair of this year’s local committee, for the energy and boundless attention to detail that she has brought to planning the conference. You will see abundant evidence of the fine work that she and all the members of the local committee have done throughout our meeting next spring.
