Abstract
The introduction of British law into its colonies in the 18th and 19th centuries was a crucial part of the civilizing project; however, it was a difficult task. Despite a conscious effort to emulate their counterparts in Britain, local legal professions were constantly encountering problems in replicating British models in the quite different conditions existing in the colonies.
