Lawyers Who Made America

No other nation's creation both politically and socially owes such a debt to lawyers as the United States of America. This book traces the story of that creation through the human lives of those who played important parts in it: amongst others of English lawyers who established the form of the original colonies; of the Founding Fathers who declared independence and created a Constitution; of Abraham Lincoln Woodrow Wilson Justices of the Supreme Court and finally Barack Obama. Even Richard Nixon features if only as a reminder that even the President is subject to the law. The author combines his wide legal experience and engaging writing style to produce a book that will enthral lawyers and laymen alike giving perhaps a timely reminder of the importance of the rule of law to American democracy.
