The article critically appraises the book "For the Defense: The Life of Edward Marshall Hall," by Edward Marjoribanks. "For the Defense" is the life of Sir Edward Marshall Hall, one of the foremost English criminal lawyers during the past half-century. For the layman the book has all the fascination of a series of interesting detective stories told around a central figure of great charm and magnetism. For the lawyer it is, in addition, an interesting exposition of how law is practiced and how criminal trials are conducted in England, in striking contrast with U.S. system of criminal procedure.
