Boston: Little Brown and Company, 1941. First edition. A near fine copy in very good dust wrapper. Very uncommon. This volume consists of fourteen lectures on the practice of law by twenty-eight eminent Massachusetts lawyers and judges. From the first conference between counsel and a new client, the reader is taken chronologically through the preparation and trial of a case until the appeal has been argued. Omitted only is the final topic suggested by one of the lecturers, " How to Explain to Your Client Why You Lost the Case." The practicing lawyer who heeds the advice given in this volume, how-ever, will be less frequently confronted with this unhappy task. The practicing lawyers chosen are leaders in their profession whose views merit respect, and the observations of judges on such matters as court room conduct, briefs, and oral argument are of the utmost importance to any lawyer.
