In 1936 Piero Calamandrei, an Italian lawyer and law professor,
published Elogio dei Giudici Scritto da un Avvocato, a wry
collection of maxims, anecdotes and observations on the nature of
the legal process. Translated in 1946 as Eulogy of Judges, Written
by a Lawyer, it gradually acquired a reputation among sophisticated
legal circles as the best lawyer's book ever written. Written by a
self-described member of the "Piero Calamandrei Freemasonry
Society," Eulogy of Lawyers revives the spirit of its great
predecessor while shifting the focus to the other side of the
bench. Preface by Bryan A. Garner, President, Law Prose, Inc.;
Distinguished Research Professor of Law, Southern Methodist
University, Dallas, Texas; Editor, current editions of Black's Law
Dictionary. "Stein is a rare breed: a superb, noted advocate - one
of the finest of his day - who is also a literary essayist. I can
think of only two comparable predecessors: Lord Brougham and
Clarence Darrow." --Bryan A. Garner, Preface, xii-xiii. Jacob A.

Who is your lawyer, and what does he or she really do? That's a
question that's not easy to answer--unless you go the source. And
unfortunately, most lawyers won't give you a straight answer.
In What Your Lawyer May Not Want You to Know, Billy F. Brown
unveils the mystery of how lawyers work and how they communicate.
In simple language, he helps you understand what happens in a law
practice, and he explains the problems clients encounter with
lawyers and vice versa. You'll learn
- how to determine whether you need a lawyer; - what questions
to ask a lawyer; - why lawyers generally disagree with each other;
and - how to gain considerable advantages by understanding the
legal process.
Whether you're a client, a lawyer, or someone in law school,
this guidebook will provide you with important insights about the
nature of the legal process. Get a rare insider's look into the
practice of law with What Your Lawyer May Not Want You to Know.
If you thought corruption was limited to Capitol Hill, think
again. The men and women that wear the black robes and dispense
justice play the game hard and well. The place reeks with inside
deals and scams. Look out Whitewater. Here comes the Wizard of
Court House Corruption
The Inspiration for Professor Kingsfield Discusses His Career,
Teaching Methods Professional Issues and Other Subjects. Originally
published: Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1942. xi, 164 pp.
Spartan Education offers a fascinating account of Harvard Law
School from the turn of the century to the 1940s, colorful sketches
of his professors, Mr. Cadwallader and a summary of his "Spartan"
approach to pedagogy. Warren also includes the texts of various
addresses and articles dealing with Harvard, legal history, the
American Bar and political topics.
This is a reprint of the 1942 edition, which was strictly limited
to 1000 copies. (Despite requests for additional copies, Warren
refused to reissue the book. (He published an edition of extracts
instead, however, in order to address these requests while keep his
word.)
"I believe in discipline. From boyhood days on, I have sought to
discipline my own mind, pen, and tongue. And throughout my service
on the Law Faculty I have sought to discipline the minds, pens, and
tongues of the students. I have never suffered fools gladly, and
regard such sufferance as mischievous. Therefore 'Spartan
Education' seemed an appropriate title. As I review my life, I find
the source of greatest satisfaction in my belief that there are
today ten thousand men who are leading more useful and successful
lives than they would be leading if my Spartan training had not
played a substantial part in the molding of their minds; and that
most, if not all, of them now recognize that to be the fact, and
are grateful." -- Preface, ix
Edward H. Warren 1873-1945] was a legendary professor at Harvard
Law School. Known as "Bull" Warren for his aggressive (and often
vicious) teaching methods, he was the primary model for Professor
Kingsfield in John Jay Osborn, Jr.'s novel The Paper Chase. Warren
attended Harvard College from 1891 to 1895 and Harvard Law School
from 1897 to 1900, where his principal instructors were Ames, Gray,
Smith and Thayer. After four years at Strong and Cadwalader, he
joined the Harvard Law faculty, where he remained until his
retirement.
Harkjoon Paik left his native Korea in the midst of war. His home
destroyed and his educational opportunities lost, he left
everything and everyone behind in search of a way to accomplish his
life goals. He arrived in the United States as an ambitious and
optimistic teenager, knowing no one and without resources.
"Tracking the Tiger" is the story of how he survived in the
chaos of battle and immigration. He created a new life for himself,
making his way with hard work, and went on to earn degrees from
Stanford University and Stanford Law School. He began to practice
law and, at the age of thirty-eight, became the first native-born
Korean to sit on the Superior Court bench in not only California
but also the United States.
Judge Paik finds joy in life wherever he goes. He has raised
three children of great accomplishment, and he shares many lifelong
friendships and some great adventures along the way.
His wife, Beverly Paik, tells the story of her husband's life
and career in his voice. They met more than fifty years ago as
students at Stanford University. When he granted her access to his
diaries, she knew his was a story that needed to be shared with a
much bigger audience.
This is their story, one of love and triumph over adversity--and
of the undeniable power of hope.
