Alma 10:14

Now it was those men who sought to destroy them,

who were lawyers, who were hired or appointed by the people

to administer the law at their times of trials,

or at the trials of the crimes of the people before the judges.

Alma 10:15

Now these lawyers were learned in all the arts and cunning of the people;

and this was to enable them that they might be skilful in their profession.

Alma 11:4

Now these are the names of the different pieces

of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value.

And the names are given by the Nephites,

for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews who were at Jerusalem;

neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews;

but they altered their reckoning and their measure,

according to the minds and the circumstances of the people,

in every generation, until the reign of the judges,

they having been established by king Mosiah.
