Until the mid-1700s; law was not thought of as a science or profession. Most Virginians adhered to the English country tradition that considered law to be a local and personal affair. The growth of cities and business; however; guaranteed that disputes would spill over county boundaries. As law proliferated and became more complex; it encouraged the growth of a legal profession composed of men who shared specialized knowledge of law and the courts.
