| Notes: | Vincent W. Hallinan was a lawyer who invented a new defense trial strategy, reformed San Francisco's corrupt jury system, defended the union leader Harry Bridges and ran for President from jail. He once sued the Roman Catholic Church for fraud, demanding that it prove the existence of heaven and hell. He literally resorted to sparring with opposing lawyers in the courthouse corridors. By his count he had 23 such fights.
Note: Walsh has written, in Irish, a longish dedication to his parents on the dedication page. Physical description: xvi, 270 pages, 12 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 22 cm more |
