A Parisian Barrister between the Art of Oratory and Self-Promotion (Late Sixteenth Century) - 2004.

Anne Robert, a famous Parisian barrister of the late sixteenth century, has finally been identified as the author of a manuscript kept in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. It is a reliable source of information about the political choices made by a supporter of Henry IV, as well as a professional tool illustrating the way a Parisian barrister pleaded. Besides, Robert had a collection of speeches published in 1596 which promoted a new model of barrister. Far from recycling the austere judicial rhetoric of the Parliament, it put forward Ciceronian eloquence. Meanwhile, Robert’s agenda was personal, and was aimed at self-promotion at a time when the Bar offered fewer prospects of social promotion.
