In this Lecture, I will address the story of Legal Advisers employed in Foreign Offices across the 19th and the 20th century. Although a strong Focus will be made on the French Case (which was rather avant gardiste on the matter), I will drew comparison with other European and non-European countries in a comparative and global perspectives.
I will provide a prosopography and socio-cultural history of this Office.
