Medieval lawyers were either clerical or secular. Those who were clerical presumably lead rather simple lives, though there were surely a few who did not.

The secular lawyers were well paid, and were able to live the lives of moderately wealthy people. They would have had to live near the courts, which meant in or very near cities or major towns. They would typically have had a number of servants, good quality clothing and food, and a comfortable home.

Law became a formal profession with rather strict educational requirements during the last four centuries of the Middle Ages.
