About this book
These linked stories follow the celebrated New York firm of Tutt & Tutt as its shrewd, kindly senior partner outwits opponents on both sides of the law. Arthur Train knew his subject from the inside, having practiced as a lawyer and prosecutor, and he uses fiction to expose the tricks, loopholes, and small injustices of the courtroom while keeping a warm eye on human nature. Old Ephraim Tutt, the firm's wily champion of the underdog, was one of the most beloved characters in American popular fiction of the day. Witty, humane, and sharp about how the law really works, the collection still reads well a century on. This free edition can be downloaded as a PDF and EPUB.
