He practiced law in Seattle, served in the military during the First World War, and worked as a King County judge, a Washington State Supreme Court judge, and Chief Justice of the Court. Judge Beals was the Presiding Judge at the International Military Tribunal I held in Nuremberg from 1946-1947, at which Nazi doctors were tried. He retired in 1951". Nicely bound with handmade paper. Small tear at the inner margin of one blank leaf. Old handwritten label attached to the inside rear cover. Two small foxing spots on the front wrapper to the speech, otherwise internally clean.
