In 1936 Piero Calamandrei, an Italian lawyer and law professor,
published Elogio dei Giudici Scritto da un Avvocato, a wry
collectionof maxims, anecdotes and observations on the nature of
the legalprocess. Translated in 1946 as Eulogy of Judges, Written
by a Lawyer, it gradually acquired a reputation among sophisticated
legal circlesas the best lawyer's book ever written. Written by a
self-describedmember of the "Piero Calamandrei Freemasonry
Society," Eulogy ofLawyers revives the spirit of its great
predecessor while shifting thefocus to the other side of the
bench.Preface by Bryan A. Garner, President, LawProse, Inc.;
