Excerpt from Forensic Oratory: A Manual for Advocates

I have written this book in order to assist law students and young lawyers in. Preparing them selves to discharge in a proper manner their duties as advocates. For more than forty years I have been a frequenter of court - rooms, and have studied the modes in which the trials of causes are conducted from the various points of view of a spectator, a court officer, a participating counsel, and a judge. The conviction was long since forced upon my mind that the enormous waste of time and energy involved in these proceedings is due to a want of method in preparing and presenting causes, whereby the conflicts of the forum, which should consist in the concentration of well ordered forces on the exact points of attack and defence, degen erate into a guerilla warfare of indefinite duration, characterized by irregular and often fruitless sallies, surprises, and retreats. Acting upon this conviction.
