Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life Thomas Donaldson The reputation of an eminent lawyer and advocate does not long survive. There are few exceptions to this rule. While he lives he is a conspicuous figure in the community. His connection with important cases gives him prominence, and his knowledge, skill and eloquence are called into exercise on public occasions when the services of the ablest men are required; but when he dies he leaves behind no lasting memorial. Even the best speeches of renowned orators rarely become a part of enduring literature. They are intended for hearers, not readers. A few brilliant passages are preserved in the declamations of schoolboys, a few striking phrases become part of the common language, while the speeches themselves are soon forgotten. But the lawyers aim is not to be an orator. He would certainly fail in his profession if it were. His arguments are intended to convince the judgment of courts and to gain the verdicts of juries. The simpler and plainer they are the better. In a case in which it is appropriate, eloquence is sometimes very effective, but it seldom outlives the trial, or reaches beyond the courthouse.
