Reminiscences of a Trial Lawyer

About the Book

The professional life of a trial lawyer can be unique because of the variety of the subject matter of his cases. John F. Corrigan was very fortunate to be thrust into situations and cases with a great deal of that variety. He never really knew in advance if he was going to be working on an accounting problem, class action securities cases, contract disputes, land valuation questions, anti trust cases, medical malpractice, doctor’s privileges to work in hospitals, personal injury or product liability cases, real estate or title problems, family disputes, or contested trusts or estates. This book tells the stories of some of his experiences in the preparation and trial of these diverse cases in the second half of the twentieth century.
