• Extra informatie: - Famous lecture delivered by Sir William Searle Holdsworth (1871-1944), the Vinerian Professor of English Law at Oxford University, on December 1, 1924, as part of the prestigious Creighton Lecture series. In this lecture, Holdsworth argues that the English legal profession has been instrumental in the development of the nation's constitutional structure. He contends that lawyers, through their roles in the courts and their interpretation of laws, have significantly influenced the evolution of constitutional principles. Holdsworth emphasizes that the common law tradition, upheld and propagated by the legal profession, has provided a stable foundation for constitutional growth, ensuring continuity and adaptability in governance. Delivered in the aftermath of World War I, a period marked by political upheaval and calls for reform, Holdsworth's lecture reflects on the enduring nature of English constitutionalism.
