St. Raymond of Penyafort is the patron saint of lawyers but most specifically, Canon Lawyers. He was a Dominican Friar of the 13th century who assembled the Decretals of Gregory XIV. That was a collection of Canon Laws that was the major art of Church Law until the Code of Canon Law of 1917. That Code was the first codification of Canon Law in the Church.
