Brooks had not many moments in life to spare, had not drawn up the usual engrossed, magnificent document dear to the lawyer heart, but had used for his client's will one of those regular printed forms which can be purchased at any stationer's. "Mr. Percival Brooks, of course, flatly denied the serious allegation brought against him.
How careful these busy men were to convey a certain impression of leisureliness! It will never do for a doctor to burst in upon his poor feverish patient, and throw everything into commotion. And see how composedly the lawyer listens to his client's tale! Wise men these; and I must not be too proud to learn from them. Great souls have ever been leisurely souls.
These statements of the duty of the lawyer to the court in the advocacy of causes and in the presentation of his client's case, are taken from the Code of Legal Ethics, which was approved by the American Bar Association.
He would glide in at a critical moment paying, in his agitated client's view, "an angel's visit" and with smiling ease seize advantages seen by none but himself, repair disasters appearing to others irreparable, and with a single blow demolish the entire fabric which in his absence had been laboriously and skilfully raised by his opponent.
Whatever quality the advocate may wish to represent as the client's distinctive characteristic, it must be suggested to the jury by mimetic artifice of the finest sort.
The judge gave vent to a faint murmur of disapprobation, and the prisoner in the dock leant forward angrily. Heavywether cared nothing for his client's anger. "Answer my question, if you please." "I suppose," said Lawrence quietly, "that I should." "What do you mean by you 'suppose'? Your brother has no children. You would inherit it, wouldn't you?" "Yes."

A great lawyer was like a great general headquarters on the field.
He put his money everywhere, did that old man. There are shares in iron mines in the Alleghanies, worth ever so much." "They are no good to us," said the Solicitor-General, alluding to his client's interests. "Not worth a halfpenny to us, though they are paying twenty per cent. on the paid-up capital. He seems to have determined that the real heir should get nothing, even if there were no will.
The Admiral died of aconitine poisoning; and Sebastian observed and detailed the symptoms. Could anything be plainer I mean, could any combination of fortuitous circumstances" he blinked pleasantly again "be more adverse to an advocate sincerely convinced of his client's innocence as a professional duty?" And he gazed at me comically.
"I hold in my hand a very acute and eloquent address prepared for me by one of the able and zealous gentlemen who appears to-day as my counsel, and which, but for the iniquitous law which prohibits the advocate of a presumed felon, but possibly quite innocent person, from addressing the jury, upon whose verdict his client's fate depends, would no doubt have formed the subject-matter of an appeal to you not to yield credence to the apparently irrefragable testimony arrayed against me.
