Sergeant+at+The+Law

= Sergeant at The Law = A SERGEANT AT THE LAW who paid his calls, Wary and wise, for clients at St. Paul’s There also was, of noted excellence. Discreet he was, a man to reverence, Or so he seemed, his sayings were so wise. He often had been Justice of Assize By letter patent, and in full commission. His fame and learning and his high position Had won him many a robe and many a fee. There was no such conveyance as he; All was fee-simple to his strong digestion, Not one conveyance could be called in question. Though there was nowhere one so busy as he, He was less busy than he seemed to be. He knew of every judgment, case and crime Ever recorded since King William’s time. He could dictate defenses or draft deeds; No one could pinch a comma from his screeds And he knew every statute off by rote. He wore a homely parti-colored coat, Girt with a silken belt of pin-stipe stuff; Of his appearance I have said enough. === The Sergeant at Law's occupation in the Canterbury Tales is a lawyer. Having a lawyer during the time of the tales explains the reason of having someone who could fight for the justice of the citizens. His social standing in the tales is not wealthy since all his clients would make excuses to pay him. If the Sergeant lived during our time, he could probably be a more successful lawyer if he tried to improve his weakness.

Sergeant at The Law description:
==The Sergeant was chosen to be a lawyer appointed by the monarch to serve as a judge. He specializes in conveyances (deeds) and property disputes. He knows every judgment, case and crime ever recorded since the King William's time. He is a very wise man when it comes to judging but at the same time he has a weakness that effects his income. The Sergeant pretends to be a very busy man but all of that is a lie because he really is never busy as he acts to be. He could be a wealthier man if his clients would pay for his screeds.==
