Download or read book Twenty Famous Lawyers written by John Hostettler and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining diversion for lawyers and others, Twenty Famous Lawyers focuses on household names and high profile cases. Contains valuable insights into legal ways and means and looks at the challenges of advocacy, persuasion and the finest traditions of the law. With a backdrop of famous cases and personalities, Twenty Famous Lawyers is a kaleidoscope of information about the world of lawyers. To the fore are 20 individuals selected by John Hostettler as representative of those who have left their mark on legal developments. Ranging across countries, cultures and time these are people who helped raise (or in some cases lower) the law’s values and standards. From high politics to human rights to legal loopholes, manipulation, pitfalls and downright trickery, the book is also a celebration of the contribution made by lawyers to society and democracy — often by those pushing boundaries or challenging injustice or convention. The book’s ‘supporting cast’ includes such diverse personalities as Julius Caesar, Oscar Wilde, Gilbert and Sullivan, the Prince Regent and Lily Langtry. It covers trials for treason, murder, terrorism and even regicide, visiting courts from the Old Bailey to the Supreme Court of the USA to those of Ancient Rome. With chapters on: Clarence Darrow, Edward Carson, William Howe and Abraham Hummel, Matthew Hale, Marcus Cicero, Henry Brougham, John Adams, Helena Kennedy, Norman Birkett, Jeremy Bentham, Geoffrey Robertson, Abraham Lincoln, Edward Coke, Thomas Jefferson, Shami Chakrabati, James Fitzjames Stephen, Edward Marshall Hall, Gareth Peirce, Lord Denning and Cesare Beccaria. Review: 'A wealth of anecdote, not to mention entertainment for lawyers everywhere and indeed anyone interested in the inspiring and often startling and controversial history of the law': Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers. From the Text: [Henry Brougham] first made a name... as a lawyer by his defence of the brothers John Hunt and John Leigh Hunt in two prosecutions for seditious libel in their newspaper, The Examiner. The first trial, on 22 January 1811, arose from an article entitled “One Thousand Lashes!!” which attacked flogging in the army. As William Cobbett had only recently been fined and sent to prison for two years for criticising army flogging in his Political Register the verdict against Hunt could hardly be in doubt. Nevertheless, Brougham secured a brilliant acquittal [after a speech] which was remarkable for “great ability, eloquence and manliness.”

His grandfathers on both his paternal and maternal sides served as officers in the Revolutionary War, and were descended from Puritan stock, their ancestors being among the earliest settlers of New England. In 1819, when he was about three years Old, his father, who was a Congregationalist clergyman, removed to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Stephen's childhood and early youth were there passed in what has be come one of the most famous and classic spots of New England. At the age Of thirteen, a step was taken by him which undoubtedly produced a deep and lasting impression upon his intellectual and moral character, although its effects upon his exter nal life were temporary and trifling. In 1829 an elder sister married the Reverend Josiah Brewer.2 Mr. And Mrs. Brewer, acting under the auspices of The Ladies' Greek Association in New Haven, soon afterwards sailed for the Levant, with the intention of establishing schools in Greece for the education.

After a prepara tory school training of eight months, he entered the freshman class at Dartmouth eight months in ad vance, and graduated with honor in 1825. During his college course he supplied himself with funds for his expenses principally by teaching, and by mak ing and selling maple sugar in the spring of the year. He afterward commented upon the fun his fellow collegians made of the cowhide shoes he wore, and would say, They were good-natured fellows, though; if they had known my shoes were the best I could afford, they would not have spoken of them. He was admitted to the bar of Orleans County in 1827, and practiced at Derby eight years, the last three of which he was States Attorney of the county.
