A series of short stories set around trials and legal procedure follows counsel and their clients through motions, hearings, and verdicts. Episodes shift between courtroom scenes, private consultations, and occasional letters, revealing legal tactics, ethical dilemmas, professional rivalries, and the personal stakes that attach to litigation. Each piece concentrates on a particular dispute or ruling to show how facts, argument, and judicial temperament combine to determine outcomes. The tone balances procedural detail with human observation, depicting law as both a technical practice and a source of intense pressure on those involved.
[A] The Judge who hears litigated motions does not now sign ex parte orders. The inside history of this change in the practice may some day be found in a biography. Meanwhile this tale is told “without prejudice.”
Minor changes have been made to correct typesetters’ errors; otherwise, every effort has been made to remain true to the author’s words and intent.
