Early histories by local lawyers such as this one are often quite valuable because they were written by people who were steeped in local traditions and had access to practitioners of the preceding generation who were invaluable sources of fact and anecdote about their generation and the generation that preceded them. Written during the early 1860s this book draws on interviews with people who practiced before Maine was a state and could recall anecdotes from the colonial period. Along with historical chapters and biographical sketches of such lawyers as Simon Greenleaf and William B. Sewall the book has information about "social usages of the bar" popular law books and how lawyers from other colonies were treated. unknown books

One of several English dictionaries published in the early nineteenth century Williams' dictionary is notable for its physical size and broad scope. Williams noted that his aim was to include more words and shorter definitions by omitting the extraneous detail that distinguished the work of his predecessors and presumably his competitors. Williams 1763-1833 was a barrister of the Inner Temple and was called to the bar but he didn't have success as a pleader. He was known instead for his writings. In addition to his dictionary he wrote manuals justices of the peace compiled abridgments and digests and edited an edition of William Sheppard's The Precedent of Precedents. 1. unknown books

Garner President LawProse Inc. ISBN-13: 9781584771838. ISBN-10: 1584771836. Hardcover with dust jacket. New. $49.95 This book tells how to brief and how to argue a Federal case on appeal. Its primary purpose is to explain to the lawyer how to best persuade a Federal appellate court to decide a case in his favor. It is neither a practice manual nor a text of Federal appellate procedure being written on the assumption that all the procedural steps necessary to perfect the appeal have been or will be timely taken. Consequently this book deals with problems that are common to appeals in whatever Federal court they may be presented. Many of the principles defined and discussed herein are applicable also to the argument oral and written of questions of fact and law presented and heard in Federal trial courts. The task of presenting facts and law effectively the psychology of persuasion the requirements of candor and accuracy-these are matters common to forensic effort in every courtroom at every state of a litigated proceeding. In addition to its discussion of appellate advocacy and a description of procedure in the federal appellate courts Supreme Court U.S. Court of Appeals and specialized federal courts it provides valuable guidelines for writing briefs and appeals and the preparing oral arguments. Among other lessons it teaches ways to -think before writing -state facts and phrase issues persuasively -use argumentative headings -employ clear forceful English -handle questions in oral argument -use maps and charts effectively and -prevent "forensic halitosis."

"To get into court and to maintain your right to be there is the object of all pleading and is as important in an appellate court as in a trial court .

Tenth edition. Originally published: Boston: Little Brown and Company 1864. xvii 342 pp. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584770558. ISBN-10: 1584770554. Hardcover. New. $44.95 Whiting's writings are widely believed to have profoundly affected President Lincoln's war actions. In Whiting's legal theories regarding war powers and the abolition of slavery espoused here Lincoln found justification for the Emancipation Proclamation and the constitutional authority to abolish slavery. Simply stated Whiting held that the abolition of slavery is constitutionally appropriate when viewed not as the objective end of the war but as a means to end the rebellion in order to save the republic. His writing style was geared to the average reader and this popular style along with the tremendous influence of his writings led to the work going through 43 editions in less than a decade. This the tenth edition is based on his earlier work The War Powers of the President and the Legislative Powers of Congress in Relation to Rebellion Treason and Slavery 1862 which is thought to have been the work that originally brought Whiting to Lincoln's attention and led to his appointment as Solicitor of the War Department. This edition includes various unpublished sensitive documents that he handled in the course of that position. unknown books
