"A collection of the author’s personal vignettes experienced over a half century
of the practice of general law. It is written from the perspective of a young law
school graduate through the completion of 60 years of practice. This book
leads you through some of the various experiences of a small town attorney
who served not only the law but also various personal, community, and state
roles from being a member of the local school, library and historical society
boards to serving in the Kansas House of Representatives and the State Board
of Education.
As the law becomes increasingly more specialized, the traditional small-town
lawyer is being replaced by big fi rms and another concept of the practice of law.
This personal record of a typical small-town lawyer is a timely refl ection of the
way it used to be in small town America."
