Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the famous barristers and lawyers practicing in England's Westminster Courts during the early 1800s. The author endeavors to identify the reasons why the field had recently seen a sharp decline in oratorical skill, while also providing a detailed analysis of the…leading barristers of the era. The author contends that the atmosphere in the courts has become stifling, due to excessive formality and Judges who squash dissent, leading to an environment that stifles the natural brilliance of the advocates. The author maintains that the days of legal giants such as Erskine and Mingay are long gone, and the current crop of barristers lack the independence and talent of their illustrious predecessors. However, the author takes care to provide detailed and insightful pen portraits of the leading lights of the day, including Scarlett, Marryat, Best, and others, carefully delineating their individual strengths, weaknesses, mannerisms and talents. The author's observations facilitate a nuanced understanding of what an attorney of that period brought to bear upon their work. Whether the reader is a legal professional or a casual observer with an interest in the machinations of the courtroom, this book is indispensable for an in-depth understanding of the legal profession and the evolution of courtroom oratory.
