Why are his statements so startlingly relevant today? Here for the first time in book form are the writings and debates of Clarence Darrow that reveal why he was such a force to be reckoned with in the court of law and in the court of public opinion. The great attorney's pronouncements, ranging from the Negro problem and politics to non-violent resistance and social action, contribute to a re-evaluation of America's destiny. Typical of Darrow: "Revolution is nurtured by unjust oppression." On Negroes: "Nobody will come to boost you up; you must suffer and many of you must die before the victory will be won." On prohibition: "What kind of poem would you get out of a glass of ice-water?" His famous essays, "Why I Am an Agnostic" and "How to Pick a Jury," are included in this remarkable collection. His short stories, "The Breaker Boy" and "Little Louis Epstine," lend a poignant climax to his known sympathy for the underdog. Clarence Darrow was born in Kinsman, Ohio, in 1857. He was a product of the American imagination and its frontier yearning for freedom and democracy. Darrow found that he could best express his energies in the field of law. But he turned to writing as a means of influencing a broader audience. Through his essays and fiction, with their suspender-stretching and urbane mixture of wit, lawyer's logic, satire, and sentiment, Darrow became the attorney for the public conscience. His beliefs remain a part of America's continuing social philosophy, his battles are epics in our politics and sociology, and his courtroom strategies are legal psychology of the highest order. Here in this book is Darrow, the attorney, the philosopher, the dreamer, the practical cogitator, the Quixote who ground the windmills to a crushing stop. His writings are a touchstone for our age of crisis. Verdicts Out of Court brings together for the first time the passion of a lifetime devoted to lonely victories "because I believed the cause was worthwhile." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Born in Ireland in 1837, she was taken to the United States as a child and became a dressmaker and teacher, marrying an iron moulder in 1861. Jones lost her husband and four children in a yellow fever epidemic just six years later and then lost her dressmaking business in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The Knights of Labor came out to help the fire victims, and from that point onward Mary Jones became more and more absorbed in the nationwide movement to advance the rights of working people. Jones roamed the country for decades, always at the scene of the action. She delivered fiery orations, wrote articles, and organized strikes and marches. She co-founded the Industrial Workers of the World in 1905 and was sentenced to twenty years in prison after a strike turned violent in 1913, though the governor of West Virginia commuted her sentence. Upton Sinclair turned Jones into a character in his novel The Coal War: "She was wrinkled and old, dressed in black, looking like somebody's grandmother; she was, in truth, the grandmother of hundreds of thousands of miners." The grandmotherly appearance was part of the persona that Jones gradually developed under the name "Mother Jones." She was the rare person who pretended to be older than she was, giving her birth year as 1830 instead of 1837, and made public appearances in antique black dresses. In his introduction, Clarence Darrow comments on the theatrical aspect of Jones' activism: "Mother Jones always appeared in time of need. She had a strong sense of drama. She staged every detail of a contest. Her actors were real men and women and children, and she often reached the hearts of employers where all others failed." Mother Jones lives on in the leftist magazine of the same name and in the quote known worldwide: "Pray for the dead, and fight like hell for the living!".
