Stories Of The Law And Lawyers Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Lawyer in Literature Who, that has already made acquaintance with these characters of the law in Dickens and the rest, will not take pleasure in comparing notes upon them with Judge Gest? Who, that has his favorites and his aversions among them, will not be interested in the author's new points of view, his fuller survey, his keen judgment, his trenchant wit, his generous sympathies, his illuminat ing comments? And yet a main use of the book ought to be to send those readers to the originals who have never been there. Can a lawyer I mean one of self-respect, of aspiration, of devotion to his art and science, - can he afford to ignore his profession as it is glassed in the literature of life? Why should a lawyer, as a lawyer, be familiar with literature, particularly the literature of the novelists? Well, in the first place, there are episodes of fact and types of character in professional life whose descriptions by famous novelists have become classical in literature.
