Willem Van der Tanerijen (died 1499) was a jurist in the Duchy of Brabant (the territory of which is now divided between the Netherlands and Belgium) whose manuscript treatise on the procedures of the major courts of the duchy is an important source for the legal history of the fifteenth century.
[1][2] He was also a proponent of university training in law.
[3] Sources on Van der Tanerijen's life are scarce.
He was probably born in Antwerp, where he later served as an alderman.
