Honest Lawyer Lincoln

Honest Lawyer LincolnAbraham Lincoln, who emphasized his role as an active reconciliation advisor, why did he take the case of the black woman Jane? In the fall of 1847, Lincoln lost three of five circuit court cases, especially the fifth. On behalf of Kentuckys slave-owner Robert Matson, it was the case of the black woman Jane, who claimed ownership of the black woman Jane Bryant and her four children. The case has long left a stigma for Lincoln, who declared the release of slaves. The suspicions surrounding it have led to debate over the morality of the contemporary law and the question of the moral responsibility of todays lawyers. It was five times as long as his five years as president. But the life of Lincoln, a lawyer who had over 5,600 cases, was neglected. This is due to the conflict between the negative cultural image of a lawyer and his image as a frontier hero or great liberator. The author objectively reveals that Lincoln, who was primarily responsible for land disputes and defamation cases in rural communities, is changing as a lawyer for railroad cases as the market economy grows. The book describes the successes and frustrations of a lawyer in a single case and is widely read in the United States as a textbook for law school aspirants and lawyers.
