Reflections of a Lawyer (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Reflections of a LawyerEven if the judges be perfectly honest, not much justice can be expected to be done. With his best intentions, the judge cannot gauge the honesty of the witnesses, cannot tell who is telling the truth and who is not. The judge himself must grope in the dark.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Lawyer's Recollections


Book Description

Excerpt from A Lawyer's Recollections: In and Out of Court I have occupied my leisure hours by recalling to mind, and recording, some matters in my experience which may not be without interest. While there is nothing in my career which so far distinguishes it from that of any other member of the legal profession, who has followed the law for a period of half a century, as to furnish an excuse for anything in the form of an autobiography.

Landmarks of a Lawyer's Lifetime (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Landmarks of a Lawyer's Lifetime Supreme Court, an associate on the bench with my father, followed by the Strongs Who founded the practice of that distinguished firm - Strong Cad Walader Of New York City, in which for many years there was no Strong, but the name was regarded of sufficient value to be retained. The progeny of these two branches of Strongs ramified far and wide in the field of law, and quite likely a few more judges among them might be unearthed by more or less diligent search, and if the fates had been kinder upon my two nominations for a judgeship by the Republi cans of New York City, I might have added another to the list of Supreme Court Judges. It is a matter of satisfaction in looking over the roll of these worthies of the bench and bar, that in about a century and a half neither the sentence of sus per coll nor of disbarment has been pronounced against any of them.

REMINISCENCES


Book Description




Half a Century with Judges and Lawyers (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Half a Century With Judges and Lawyers Very often the preface is the most important portion of a work. The stories, anecdotes, scenes, in this collection, by whatever name they may be called, are mainly from my own hearing and personal observation; as to those which are not so, I have endeavored to state the facts correctly. These I am sure I do not forget, though I may not have named in every instance the exact year of their occurrence. I should have been pleased to delineate and describe at greater length the personages who figure in these reminiscences, as their actual appearance is unknown to many of the younger members of the bar; but the work would be too great. Moreover, I am not able to do it, currente calamo. Many of the anecdotes have been current among the senior members of the bar, and others have been told by me, and so have become known.

Memorials of the Early Lives and Doings of Great Lawyers (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Memorials of the Early Lives and Doings of Great Lawyers Hile engaged in preparing these biographical sketches for the press, I have frequently called to remembrance an evening I spent, many years ago, in company with the eminent and well-known jurist, the late Mr. John Austin. I saw him under very favourable circumstances, when none were present but his intimate friends and connections, and he was drawn into a long and deeply interesting talk. On returning home I took notes of what he had said, and as some of his observations had reference to the subject of juris prudence, I have determined to give them here.
