United Kingdom, Great Britain, Ireland, Lawyers, personal correspondence, A.M. Sullivan, Alexander Martin Sullivan 

"With a foreword by the Rt. Hon. the Earl Jowitt of Stevenage, sometime Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain Treasurer of the Middle Temple. Mr. Justice Swift was accustomed to warn young barristers that Englishmen like their Law dull. Certainly this is not true of the Irish, who prefer their litigation to be dramatic. Serjeant Sullivan writes with authority of both worlds, for when he first earned fame in England by his celebrated defense of Roger Casement he was already in Ireland the King's Serjeant and the acknowledged leader of the Irish Bar. These lively reminiscences, which cover the whole range of his life at the Irish and at the English Bar have been recorded by the author during his long legal career and completed since his retirement. The Common Law of England has been administered in Ireland since the sixteenth century and it was therefore within a legal system common to both countries but against an Irish background that Serjeants Sullivan received his legal education and training in advocacy. It is unlikely that a more varied or colorful account of the working of the Courts can have been assembled in a single volume..." - Cover
