Lincoln's representation of clients at the state's highest court not only protected their rights, but also served as a major contribution to the development of the common law of Illinois - which was a critical factor in the state's antebellum growth. Until now, not much of substance has been written about Lincoln's law practice, especially his practice in the arena which provides a lawyer perhaps the truest test of his intellect, reasoning ability & persuasiveness -- the appellate courts. For Lincoln, this arena was the Illinois Supreme Court. LINCOLN & THE ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT focuses on his performances before that tribunal. Between 1838 & 1861, there were at least 333 Illinois Supreme Court cases in which Abraham Lincoln was involved. LINCOLN & THE ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT, which includes maps covering the wide area of his practice, is "chock full of good information." This book, written by lawyer & businessman Dan W. Bannister, is a must for anyone interested in Abraham Lincoln, American legal history or the history of Illinois.
