Writ at Large

A Legal Life Well-Rounded

Tradd Street Press

"Gentlemen of the Jury; Reminiscences of Thirty Years at the Bar" is a captivating exploration of the American legal system through the eyes of one of its most distinguished practitioners. Written by Francis Lewis Wellman, a renowned trial lawyer and author of the classic "The Art of Cross-Examination," this work offers an insider's perspective on the high-stakes world of the courtroom. Drawing upon three decades of experience at the bar, Wellman presents a series of fascinating anecdotes, character sketches, and profound reflections on the art of litigation and the dynamics of the jury system. The book delves into the psychological nuances of legal battles, highlighting the strategies used to sway juries and the dramatic tension inherent in the search for justice. Beyond mere professional recollection, Wellman provides a vivid portrait of early 20th-century legal culture, capturing the wit, wisdom, and occasionally the humor found within the halls of justice. "Gentlemen of the Jury" serves as both an educational resource for aspiring legal professionals and a compelling narrative for anyone interested in the human element of the law. Its enduring value lies in its keen observations of human nature and the timeless principles of advocacy that continue to shape the legal landscape today.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Reminiscences of Thirty Years at the Bar

Gentlemen of the Jury

In these pages, journalist and writer Pablo-Ignacio de Dalmases offers a courageous investigation that redefines the traditional, even iconic, image we have of Lorca today. This essay, which focuses on his gay identity, breaks new ground in biographical literature, offering us an intimate and daring portrait that takes us by the hand through the most significant--and unknown--aspect of the poet's intense life and emphasizes an aspect that no author had detected until now: the subsequent ideological evolution of his lovers, all of whom--except one, who remained faithful to his socialist and republican identity--ended up, in contrast to the poet's sad fate, firmly identified with Francoism. With its eloquent, entertaining, and well-documented prose, Federico's Fiancés promises to be essential reading not only for the LGBT community, Hispanists, and lovers of literature, but also for those interested in the cultural genealogy of our time. Every page of this work is imbued with respect and admiration for Lorca, delving into the struggles, loves, and passions of a man who lived with a complex and affirming nature, not without contradictions. This book not only celebrates his literary genius, but also humanizes the poet, showing us the many facets of his psychology and opening up lines of reflection on the construction of gay identity in postmodernity.

The Target

Argues Shakespeare was a dark-skinned Jewish woman, Emilia Bassano, challenging the traditional authorship and gender perceptions. Was Shakespeare a white man from Stratford? Debate still rages over the identity of the most beloved poet of all time and 'father' of the English-speaking world. Generations of researchers have tried to dismantle the myth of the Stratford man. Now, in this intriguing and well-documented book, Irene Coslet conclusively demonstrates that Shakespeare was a not a man, but a woman: a dark-skinned lady, of Jewish origin, born into a family of Court musicians from Venice, and the mother of the English-speaking world. Her name was Emilia Bassano. Based on a re-examination of often-overlooked historical documents, shrewd, chilling, and profound, this volume offers extensive evidence that Emilia was the author of the canon. This is not just a book about the authorship debate: it is about the condition of women at the time Shakespeare was writing. It explains that feminism already existed in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It reveals not only that Shakespeare was a woman, but also that she defended women. It reintegrates Emilia in the context of the time, for example, by exploring the relationship between Emilia and Queen Elizabeth I. The reader will leave this book with a sense of wonder, transformation, and will experience a paradigm shift. Be prepared to meet the next feminist icon.

The Real Shakespeare

The first-ever biography of the most pivotal Justice on the Supreme Court whose decisions, like the overturning of Roe, will drive the reshaping of America, by prize-winning journalist Peter Canellos. When the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, the landmark case overturning Roe v. Wade, it marked a turning point in the lives of millions of Americans. It was also the culmination of a decades-long movement whose grievances were embodied by the man who wrote the court’s opinion: Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. Steely in his demeanor, with an impassive appearance that defies changing fashions, Alito could be the family lawyer in a 1960s television drama. But when he talks there is an emotional undercurrent, a fast-flowing stream beneath a placid surface. This is a man driven to push boundaries and mold ideas. His aim is to right the wrongs of the past six decades, as he saw them. He was the prized son of an Italian-born father and a mother whose parents emigrated from Italy shortly before her birth, worked their way into the middle class despite anti-Catholic prejudice and humiliating setbacks like evictions, and exacting big achievement demands of their children. But his family’s values came under attack during the sixties and later when Alito was at Princeton as the Vietnam war raged, women demanded equality, and their brand of patriotism was devalued. The Federalist Society provided a safe space for Alito and those like him, and he moved fast up the judicial ladder to eventually land on the Supreme Court. There he has been aggressive in pushing the law in new, conservative directions—from pushing for expanding rights for the religious conservatives, overturning affirmative action, extending the right to bear arms to thwart gun controls, and reducing the power of the Environmental Protection Agency. And finally—most crucial to his legacy—he was the author of Dobbs v. Jackson, bringing the conservative legal movement full circle in overruling Roe v. Wade. His ethnic and religious background, his intellectual confidence, and his unyielding determination are all illustrative of a group of men and women who, beset by grievance, embarked on a decades-long mission to change the rules that govern society.

Revenge for the Sixties

Every object has a story to tell...Fine art. Priceless jewels. Museum-worthy masterpieces. In 1970s New York, the auction world was a velvet-rope affair--until Arlan Ettinger crashed the party.With his wife, Barbara, Arlan launched Guernsey's, a scrappy, anything-goes auction house that turned the industry on its head. Forget Old Masters--Guernsey's sold the unexpected, the irresistible, the downright bizarre. Doors from the legendary Chelsea Hotel. The entire contents of the SS United States. Personal treasures from JFK. If it had a story, Guernsey's could sell it--and suddenly, everyone wanted in.Part business adventure, part cultural time capsule, this is the story of the auction house that proved you don't need millions to own a piece of history--you just need curiosity, a sense of humor, and a willingness to see value where others don't. Because the real magic isn't just in what things are worth--it's in what they mean. A door, a suitcase, a scrap of paper: objects carry the lives, legends, and moments that shaped us. This book is a celebration of that invisible thread between people and things--and the surprising, often joyful ways our stories live on through what we leave behind.

Inside the Auction House That Made the Impossible Possible

The Art of the Unusual

"With insight and eloquence, Jesse Wegman has done heroic work in bringing a vital but obscure architect of America back into the popular conversation. As Wegman amply proves, James Wilson merits our reconsideration-and our gratitude." -Jon Meacham New York Times journalist Jesse Wegman tells the story of James Wilson, a Founding Father whose bold vision shaped American democracy but whose legacy was lost to scandal. As a young lawyer, James Wilson made a celebrated case for American independence in an essay that inspired the famous words "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." He wrote the first draft of the Constitution and, along with the more famous James Madison, played perhaps the essential role in its ultimate creation. Wilson believed that the people are the ultimate source of all power. He argued successfully for a strong central government and a powerful presidency, and fought unsuccessfully for a direct vote for the president and the Senate. Appointed as a justice to the first Supreme Court, he was later brought down by reckless land speculation and died of malaria in the back room of a North Carolina tavern while hiding from his creditors. Instead of being remembered as one of the nation's great political thinkers, Wilson was virtually written out of history. But in The Lost Founder, Wegman brings to life the most prescient of the earliest patriots and makes a convincing argument that scandal should not diminish the life and impact of a brilliant, complicated man whose vision for his country could not be more relevant today.

James Wilson and the Forgotten Fight for a People's Constitution

The Lost Founder

"What Life Means to Me at Seventy-Two" is a profound and introspective essay by the legendary American defense attorney Clarence Darrow. Written in the twilight of his storied career, this work offers a rare glimpse into the personal philosophy of one of the twentieth century's most influential legal minds. Darrow reflects on the lessons learned over seven decades, exploring themes of justice, morality, and the human condition with his trademark skepticism and intellectual rigor.Known for his defense of the underdog and his unwavering commitment to civil liberties, Darrow uses this platform to articulate his views on agnosticism, the nature of crime, and the inevitability of change. He contemplates what it means to live a meaningful life in a world often defined by cold logic and societal constraints. His prose is both accessible and deeply thought-provoking, capturing the essence of a man who spent his life challenging the status quo. "What Life Means to Me at Seventy-Two" serves as a testament to Darrow's enduring legacy as a thinker and advocate, providing readers with timeless wisdom on how to navigate the complexities of existence with integrity and reason.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
