Canon law and secular law were important areas of knowledge in the middle ages. Legal professions were less stringently regulated than these days, or rather there was more access to legal functions for learned individuals as opposed to people with formal bar admissions/judicial appointments. There was thus more emphasis on the legal learning.
Even today, Catholic bishops basically have three paths: theology proper, philosophy, canon law — requiring a doctorate or otherwise some significant knowledge in one of the three.
We already have the Just trait, court building (in cities) and some events relating to justice, so how about let's have some jurists?
A jurist would be different from a ruler with a rulership focus in that a canonist/secular jurist would issue opinions (responsa prudentium), answer inquiries about fine points of the law or the usual 'what should/can I do in this situation' as opposed to the inherent fairness of a ruler with the Just trait (and sometimes way below 8 Learning).
This is based on the idea that there are lifestyle traits like Hunter, Gardener, Games Master, Architect etc., so I thought Jurist could make it in too.
