Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Landmarks of a Lawyer s Lifetime Classic Reprint written by Theron G. Strong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of Law and Lawyers ON lately retiring, after half a century's prac tice of the Law, my companions, in Grand Divan assembled, bound me over to complete for their use a Repertory of Good Things relating to our common profession, which I had long been preparing, and of which they had read and heard snatches. These presents contain this fond memorial of departed joys. There are many favourite sayings, standard illustrations, golden sentences, exploits of legal heroes, jests, ex planations of curious and memorable doctrines and incidents, which make up the natural history of the Lawyer Tribe. I have with great care selected and assorted these, and trust they will be found to amuse, if not edify, Lawyers, as well as their numerous Clients.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book History the Law the Courts the Lawyers of Maine written by William Willis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, the Law, the Courts, the Lawyers of Maine: From Its First Colonization to the Early Part of the Present Century The present work originated in the preparation of a lecture for the Maine Historical Society, in which I proposed to present brief sketches of the early lawyers, with anecdotes of the bar, in Maine. The materials became so copious that they stretched far beyond the limits of a discourse, and have assumed the shape in which they now appear. I had for a long time desired that some aged member of our bar would collect and preserve, for the instruction and amusement of his brethren and successors in the profession, reminiscences of the early lawyers and prao tice, as well as of the usages which prevailed at the bar, in former days. I had hoped that Judge Mellen, who was very free and felicitous with his pen, and was more familiar with these subjects, with perhaps one exception, than any of our old lawyers, would have favored the profession with his recollections and observations, during the half century in which he was an active and leading member of the profession. Or that Judge Whitman, who had a similar experience, and a keen relish for the curious anecdotes, the peculiar customs and racy jokes, which lingered around the courts, and in the memory of the old practitioners, long after the eccentric characters, who had not only wit in themselves, but were the cause of wit in others, had passed to a higher bar, would have rendered this service. But these hou ored brethren were unwilling to undertake the task of transmitting these valuable memorials.

Download or read book Lemuel Shaw written by Frederic Hathaway Chase and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lemuel Shaw: Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, 1830-1860 IT is doubtful if the country has ever seen a more brilliant group of lawyers than was found in Boston during the first half of the last century. None butfa man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained. His speeches are somewhat fully referred to f or the reason that they are nowhere collected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Kentucky Lawyer written by Mac Swinford and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2008-02-22 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judge Mac Swinford was one of the longest-serving federal judges in United States history. During his lengthy tenure in the Kentucky courts, he came to know and appreciate the deep complexity of the law, understanding that it could be solid and fluid, broad and narrow, kind and harsh, changeless yet always evolving. In this service to the state and to the law, he felt that it was often his fellow lawyers who touched and educated him most. Kentucky Lawyer presents the most humorous, enlightening, and poignant moments of a remarkable fifty-year career. Judge Swinford offers a unique Kentucky history, recounting instances of the drama and romance of the Kentucky bar. In "A Kentucky Ghost Story," he takes readers to the banks of Crooked Creek in Harrison County, where the spirit of a wrongfully accused man still affects judicial decisions. "Cost of Love" recalls a trial in Carlisle County in which a scorned lover files suit against her ex-fiancé for breach of promise, claiming ten thousand dollars for a broken heart. Remembering some of Kentucky's most revered and respected jurists, Judge Swinford relates American culture in its most intimate and significant sense, through the acts and expressions of local leaders in the everyday affairs of life. His stories of humble commitment highlight the lives of men such as Henry Clay, Lieutenant Governor Rodes K. Myers, and Senator Joe C.S. Blackburn, who championed unpopular cases and stood on the forefront of government and community affairs. Kentucky Lawyer pays tribute to some of Kentucky's "truly great men," with the hope that legend will preserve them for us in memory. Now back in print, this classic book illuminates the varied work and world of the twentieth-century lawyer with elegance and humor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and Notices of the Chicago Bar: Including the More Prominenet Lawyers and Judges of the City and Suburban Towns While in Albion he steadily followed his profession, and was brought into contact with some of the best legal minds Of the State, and thereby secured an experience and a discipline which, to a young lawyer, were invaluable. In 1854 he came to Chicago, and since that period until his promotion to the Supreme bench, he followed his chosen profession. His official life is easily summed up. He ran against Jameson as a candidate for Judge Of the Superior Court in 1866, but was unsuccessful. In 1868 he ran for Judge of the Recor der's Court, and was overwhelmingly elected. In 1870 he was elected a Judge of the Supreme Court, which position he now occupies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Law and Lawyers But of a different order to any of the foregoing was the bitter wit of Lord Ellenborough, who frequently made counsel feel the keen edge of his sarcastic tongue. When Preston, the great con veyancer, gravely stated to the Court of the King's Bench the platitude that an estate in fee simple was the highest estate known to the law of England, the Chief Justice said, with politest irony, Stay, stay, Mr. Preston, let me take that down. An estate (the judge writing as he spoke) - ih fee simple - is the highest estate - known to the law of England.' Thank you, Mr. Preston; the Court, sir, is much indebted to you for the information.

Download or read book Exposition of English Law by English Judges written by John Alexander Neale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exposition of English Law by English Judges: Compiled for the Use of Layman and Lawyer, From the Most Recent Decisions, (1886-1891) IT were perhaps unnecessary to say of this work that it is not of one' s own making, that it is but a garnering of the fruit of other men's labours still it is but just to acknowledge at the outset one's manifest obligation and indebtedness to others. The science of law is in mundane matters the chief and supreme science, affording to the intellect the highest form of exercise in that sphere. Law regulates men's relations with their fellow-men to such a degree that ignorance of it were a folly, if such ignorance can be avoided. Every man is presumed to know the law, a necessary though often a very inconvenient presumption. No man however knows the law, a fact equally inconvenient, though not equally necessary. This work has been undertaken in the belief that it is a comparatively easy thing for a man either to know the law or to have ready to his hand the means by which he may at once get to know it. English law is the creature, the offspring, the child of the English people themselves and this is the reason why in their heart, and in spite of all its imperfections, they love, honour and obey it.
