This article focuses on the book "City Lawyer: The Autobiography of a Law Practice," by Arthur Garfield Hays. This book is not a polemic on liberalism or a dissertation on how to succeed in the law. For the most part it is a warm, informal, loosely knit account of the career of a man who enjoys his profession and enjoys writing about it. Rather than the autobiography of a lawyer, the biographical details are played down, yet more of them appear here than in any of his other books. The layman may find Mr. Hays's book rather technical in spots, but in most instances the material is so interesting, and is presented so vividly, that the legal phraseology is forgivable.
