I am reminded me of our English Common law. Our word 'sheriff' came from 2 words, "shire and reeve" The shire was the same as our or county. The reeve was the kings' representative and his appointment to collect taxes, enforce the common law and most of all protect the king's assets. The English Common Law is still in force in our states and is law when not addressed by an enacted state statute and laws. One major exception is Louisana which still retains the Napoleonic code that an integral part of their legal education~ Being admitted to the bar meant only that you were allowed to pass through the wooden gate still used in courts today and adress the court. You were thus able to approach the king or representative to plead your or your clients case~The bailiff protect his court~ Eric
