Luther on the Lawyer’s Calling
![[Image]](/media/image/blogs/misc/martin-luther.gif)
Martin Luther
The study of law is dirty and mercenary because its ultimate object is money; one studies law neither for delight nor simply for the knowledge of things. Thus a lawyer who is nothing more than a lawyer is a pitiful thing.
–Martin Luther, from a fragmentary letter (ca. 1546)(S.H. transl.)
