Summary
Oath of the advocates of the Parlement of Paris
Below follows the oath taken by the Parlement's advocates as recorded in 1340 on fols. 18v–19r of the fourth criminal register of the Parlement (AN X2A4). The oath follows a list with the names of all the advocates working in the Parlement, and is followed by a comparable name list and oath for the proctors (see Appendix 3.2).
Aduocati istius curie iurabunt articulos qui sequntur videlicet:
❖Quod diligenter et fideliter istud officium exercebunt.
❖Quod causarum iniustarum patrocinium scientur non recipient.
❖Quod et si non ab inicio ex post facto tamen viderint causam esse iniustam statim eam dimittent.
❖Quod in causis quas fovebunt si viderint tangi regem ipsi de hanc curiam avisabunt.
❖Quod causa placitata et factis negatis ipsi de recenti infra biduum uel trium facient et curie tradent articulos suos iusi ex causa de licencia curie defferent.
❖Quod impertinentes articulos scienter non facient.
❖Quod consuetudines quas veras non coediderint non proponent nec sustinebunt.
❖Quod causas quas suscipient cito expedient pro posse suo.
❖Quod in eis dilaciones et subterfugia maliciose non quarent.
❖Quod pro salario suo quantumcumque sit magna causa ultra triginta libras Turonensis non recipient nec etiam aliquod ultra in salarii maioris fraudem minus tamen recipere possunt.
❖Quod pro mediocri minus et pro minori causa multo minus recipient secundum quantitatem cause et condiciones personarum.
❖Hoc idem iuramentum prestabunt illi qui aduocatis proponentibus ut consiliarii assistent.
❖Iniungatur eis preter iuramentum.
❖Quod bene mane venient et bene mane venire faciant partes suas.
❖Quod illum cui data fuerit audientia non impediant.
❖Quod stando et retro primum scamium patrocinentur.
❖Quod primum scamium non occupant.
❖Quod licet plures sint aduocati in vna causa vnus tantummodo loquatur.
❖Quod facta impertinencia non proponant.
❖Quod ipsi de curia non recedant quamdiu magistri in camera erunt.
❖Et est sciendum quod nullus aduocatus ad patrocinandum recipietur nisi fit iuratus et in rotulo nominum aduocatorum scriptus. Et prohibet curia ne ipsi ingerant se ad patrocinandum nisi sint iurati.
