Verdicts Out of Court

To influence a broader audience beyond the field of law, Clarence Darrow turned to writing -- essays, debates, fiction. Through his observations on such social issues as race, revolution, labor, divorce, crime, war, and religion, and his estimates of men and women, Darrow became the attorney for the public conscience. His beliefs, delivered with an urbane blending of wit, lawyer's logic, satire, and sentiment, remain a part of our continuing social philosophy. They are amply illustrated in this superb collection.
