Description

Lessons learned from Abraham Lincoln’s career as a trial and appellate lawyer are as timeless as lessons learned from his political career. Lincoln historian and Dallas litigator Talmage Boston details how Honest Abe practiced law in ways that matched up with our Disciplinary Rules and Lawyers Creed long before we had such Rules or Creed.  He will also detail the particulars of what made Lincoln such a compelling persuader to juries, judges, and the general public. Sponsored by the Trial Skills Section
