Résumé
This paper investigates the very concrete circumstances in which Jewish litigants were exposed to Roman law, raising questions about those individuals, mainly Jewish judicial patrons and advocates, who bridged Jewish communities and the world of the courts. Focusing on the Western part of the empire at the onset of the 5th century, it addresses the social origins, intellectual education, and professional careers of these intermediaries. Jewish judicial patrons and advocates were considered threats by Christian opponents. Eventually, the latter convinced the central government to banish them from the judicial and legal world of the West.
