Une élite mal connue : les avocats dans la société montréalaise au tournant du xxe siècle
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that lawyers are omnipresent in Quebec society, but historians have scarcely begun to pay any serious attention to them. The author endeavours to provide a better understanding of lawyers' role and place in early twentieth-century Montreal society and among its elite. Two major propositions emerge from her analyses: that the wide range of the interests underlying lawyers' non-legal activities enhanced their visibility and allowed them to exert a certain degree of power and influence over the authorities; and that lawyers form a socio-professional group whose members, while not belonging to the same social class, nonetheless constitute an elite that is involved in the development of Montreal society. Although the focus of the author's study is primarily on Francophone lawyers, she does consider Anglophone lawyers as a separate group.
