Background
E. H. Servatius's documented professional life developed in the Netherlands. He studied at the University of Amsterdam and was admitted to the Dutch bar in 1971, placing him within the legal profession of Amsterdam, the capital and largest city of the Netherlands.
Dutch advocates practice within a national professional framework. Amsterdam law firms commonly state that their lawyers are admitted to the Netherlands Bar Association, known in Dutch as the Nederlandse orde van advocaten.
Education
Servatius's university education took place at the University of Amsterdam. The institution traces its origins to the Athenaeum Illustre, founded in 1632, and became a university in 1877.
His admission to the bar in 1971 is the documented conclusion of this educational stage and marks his entry into the Dutch legal profession.
Career
Servatius practiced law in Amsterdam as a partner of Dolk-Verburg-Diamand. The firm's Amsterdam lawyers also included H. Hampe, A. J. Dolk, and H. Posthumus Meyjes.
As a Dutch lawyer, his practice was governed by the rules of the Netherlands Bar Association, the professional body to which Dutch advocates belong.
