Advocates for God : The Contributions of Twenty Lawyer Saints

In this book, we trace the lives of several practicing lawyers who made major contributions to the Catholic faith. We present these lives in chronological order, noting the contributions made by lawyers to the Church from the third century to the twentieth.
