What Does it Mean to Be At the Bar of the Court?
The phrase comes from the early 1300s. The word “bar” originated when King Edward II established a system of courts throughout the colonies to settle disputes among the colonists. Judges moved from village to village to hear and settle disagreements in the local communities.
The people of this early era derived most of their entertainment and education in public gathering places, like the gatherings that happened when the Judges arrives to hear cases. Hearing the disputes between fellow villagers was great entertainment. As the courts grew in number, more people began attending these sessions. Consequently, the court sessions had to be held in open fields or commons to accommodate the crowds.
Soon, boundaries to separate the spectators from the proceedings had to be built to keep spectators separate from litigants. This was done by surrounding the court with a square of logs. Only those persons who were part of the court or party to the case could enter within the square of logs or “bars.” That is why “admission to the bar,” became synonymous with practicing law. The term “bar” since has come to mean an organized group practicing law in a given locality.
The Boston Bar Association began almost 400 years later, in 1761. This bar association is the oldest reported bar association here in the United States. Other “bar associations” like that of Philadelphia followed.
