Abstract

A great deal has been written in Dutch legal literature about the problems of the lawyer in criminal cases. In 1921 the idea was prevalent that a lawyer with a good reputation would not act in a criminal case on principle, except in special circumstances; by 1950 the function of the counsel in criminal cases was being described as such a lofty and worthy thing, provided that it was properly performed,partly because of its social aspects, that any lawyer who realised this and had any experience of it would have discovered a sense of great fulfilment in dealing in particular with criminal cases. It is not immediately apparent what the majority of members of the bar think about criminal law in 1981 - for the number of civil lawyers is still greater. However, it is certainly the case that the practice of criminal law increasingly attracts interest. According to practising lawyers in Amsterdam, there are not even enough cases in their district for all of them to have a share.
