As far as I can understand the author is portraying his views of the people he is traveling with and is defining them for the reader. He includes with all a title of profession, some sort of description as to their personality or their prof

Chaucer also includes in his observations of the lawyer-like-man a description of clothing: "He wore a homely parti-colored coat Girt with a silken belt of pin-strip stuff; Of his appearance I have said enough." (338-340) I found this to be humorous; he had led the reader to believe the lawyer was of an elevated status. Then, right at the end of the ovation, we sense Chaucer is not impressed by the lawyers clothing apparel. I suppose this could be similar to the way we describe pimps, (just try to forget that they are slime for a second). Sure they have lots of money, lots of women, nice cars, and etc. but my god, look at their clothes!

He knew of every judgment, case and crime
