摘要
官代書，是指清代州縣衙門裏代人寫稟貼和訴訟狀紙的人。設立官代書的目的在於防範訟師包攬詞訟、播弄鄉愚。本文詳細考察了官代書之由來、對代書參與訴訟的規定、官代書戳記、官代書所寫狀紙、官代書收入以及官代書在民間 生活中的狀態及官代書的終結。官代書在法律訴訟及維護民間社會秩序起到了一定的作用。但在運行過程中，設立官代書的原初意義發生了變化，與訟師無別，最終被取締。官代 書的設立與運行對於民國律師制度的推行具有啟導作用。
Guandaishu meant those who wrote for those who needed reports and lawsuits in the office of a state and county in Qing dynasty. It aimed at preventing litigation masters from monopolizing lawsuits and cheating the masses. A careful study was made in the essay on Guandaishu origin,their participation in the lawsuits, the Cuoji, the papers, the incomes, their life in the society and the end of Guandaishu. Guandaishu played a part in making a lawsuit and maintaining the social order, but its original meaning changed in the process of operation because there was no difference between Guandaishu and lawyers and Guandaishu was cancelled in the end. However, it promoted the system of lawyers of the Republic of China.
