Admission and conduct of lawyers in the Spanish Indies

A licensed legal profession with an entrance examination behind closed doors, four years of certified apprenticeship, a professional college, a fee, a dress mark and a written ethics code carrying ten-year suspension for changing sides and permanent disbarment for betraying a client. The same two compilations that print all of it print, as the first article of the New Spain series, the rule that no one could sit the examination without proving Spanish descent and legitimate birth.
