Before he became an Episcopal priest, the Rt. Rev. James A. Pike,
now Bishop of California, was a lawyer, and is still a member of
the California bar. No one is better qualified to speak and write
of the religious and ethical meaning of the lawyer's vocation. This
book comprises the Rosenthal Lectures for 1962 which he gave before
the Northwestern University Law School. In style and content they
make lively reading, completely devoid of the obscurity of legal
jargon or ecclesiastical obfuscation. The problems of decision and
behavior which confront every lawyer all seem to be the problems
the human race is heir to, even though the ethics of the law may
seem to pose some rarefied situations. Still, the client is a
person, and the lawyer has need to be a pastor as well as legal
counselor, with a heart and human concern as well as analytical
skill. There is scarcely any phase of the lawyer's professional and
personal life which Bishop Pike does not touch upon, and one rather
imagines that this book will be made readily available to young law
students as they prepare for this ?? (Kirkus Reviews)
