Prologue of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the Sergeant or Man of Law is portrayed as any lawyer might be. Chaucer notes in his opening lines about the Man of Law that he is “wise,” “well endowed with superior qualities and keen practical sense,” and “judicious and with much dignity,” which are all justifiable qualities of a good lawyer.
