William Fulbecke

was an English playwright, historian, lawyer and legal scholar, who did pioneering work in international law.Fulbecke's "Direction..." (1600), discussed study methods for law students, techniques for arguing a case, and suggestions for further reading.It is also full of advice, such as admonishing law students not to study at night, because: This book has been very popular and has been reprinted over and over and is still in print.Fulbeck displays his knowledge of medieval lawyers such as Bartolus of Sassoferrato, and 16th-century French legal scholars Guillaume Budé and François Hotman.[3] Fulbecke collaborated with lawyer Thomas Hughes on the play The Misfortunes of Arthur for Queen Elizabeth I at Gray's Inn on 28 February 1588.
