But completely missed the mark with his comments about the name of the book, something to the effect of "I call them lawyers instead of attorneys because that's what the phone book does." My Father always wanted to be called a lawyer, not an attorney, he felt some kinship to the English Barrister system, HE went to court, attorneys had an office practice. Lawyers is not an offe. and had many fine years in the practice of law thereafter I sincerely hope that this book includes an article called "Law School: The Thinking Man's Bastion. " It was with this wish that I just now ordered a hard copy of the book. I read the above referenced article in the June 1967 issue of Harper's magazine. The article had a profound effect in literally changing my life and that of my husband.

"The Lawyersis a reporter's effort to take a straight look at the legal profession, from the grubby precincts of the criminal courts & the bluff&bluster of negotiations in automobile accident cases to subtle arguments over national economic policy at the federal regulatory agencies & profound debates about the meaning of the Constitution in the grandiose surroundings of the Supreme Court."
