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.
