DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from James Cope: The Confessions of an United States District Attorney Republican one had offered better chances, I should undoubtedly have sailed in on it. Principles did not trouble me, but I was a very popular man all the same; called every man who had his vote by his Christian name at election times; stood innumerable drinks, and was known as Good Old Jimmy to every saloon-keeper in Lodo. I think it was at the age of fifteen that I finally determined to be President of the United States, and with that end in view became omco-boy to Lodo's leading firm of attorneys. This was not my first employ ment, mind you; for I had previously put in one year on the cars running between Lodo and San Francisco, and another as a telegraph clerk. All legal gentlemen, who are not judges, are attorneys-at-law in California - that is, barristers who do their own soliciting; and in due time I became one also not speedily and with ease, but after an almost incredible amount of hard work, and many sleepless nights. It was eight years before I attained this grade, and during the whole of them I was working like a black, not for the Attorneyship only, but for the Presidency as well. There is little doubt of the fact that, at the age of twenty-four, I knew more about International law than any man in the State of California.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →DIVA successful former defense attorney exposes the raw truth about the courtroom “game” and a career spent defending the guilty/divDIV As an advocate for the accused in Newark, New Jersey, criminal lawyer Seymour Wishman defended a vast array of clients, from burglars and thieves to rapists and murderers. Many of them were poor and undereducated, and nearly all of them were guilty. But it was not Wishman’s duty to pass moral judgment on those he represented. His job was to convince a jury to set his clients free or, at the very least, to impose the most lenient punishment permissible by law. And he was very good at his job. Reveling in the adrenaline rush of “winning,” Wishman gave no thought to the ethical considerations of his daily dealings . . . until he was confronted on the street by a rape victim he had humiliated in the courtroom./divDIV /divDIVA fascinating, no-holds-barred memoir of his years spent as “attorney for the damned,” Wishman’s Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer is a startling and important work—an eye-opening, thought-provoking examination of how the justice system works and how it should work—by an attorney who both defended and prosecuted those accused of the most horrific crimes./div

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Many countries use and apply the common law. The common law world largely operates through statutes enacted by a country's democratic legislature. These statutes are drafted and interpreted according to a uniform system of rules, presumptions, principles and canons evolved over centuries by common law judges. In this book, Francis Bennion distills forty years of his prolific writings on statute law and statutory interpretation to provide valuable guidance on statutory interpretation applicable to all common law jurisdictions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →An Anchor Books Original Seventy-four distinguished writers tell personal tales of books loved and lost–great books overlooked, under-read, out of print, stolen, scorned, extinct, or otherwise out of commission. Compiled by the editors of Brick: A Literary Magazine, Lost Classics is a reader’s delight: an intriguing and entertaining collection of eulogies for lost books. As the editors have written in a joint introduction to the book, “being lovers of books, we’ve pulled a scent of these absences behind us our whole reading lives, telling people about books that exist only on our own shelves, or even just in our own memory.” Anyone who has ever been changed by a book will find kindred spirits in the pages of Lost Classics. Each of the editors has contributed a lost book essay to this collection, including Michael Ondaatje on Sri Lankan filmmaker Tissa Abeysekara’s Bringing Tony Home, a novella about a mutual era of childhood. Also included are Margaret Atwood on sex and death in the scandalous Doctor Glas, first published in Sweden in 1905; Russell Banks on the off-beat travelogue Too Late to Turn Back by Barbara Greene–the “slightly ditzy” cousin of Graham; Bill Richardson on a children’s book for adults by Russell Hoban; Ronald Wright on William Golding’s Pincher Martin; Caryl Phillips on Michael Mac Liammoir’s account of his experiences on the set of Orson Welles’s Othello, and much, much more.
