Enlightened or nervouS?' Yes, both then

comfortable degree. 3. What advice to
a Young lawyer? Never talk nonsense to
a court or jury. A clear statement of a
case is one-half the battle. and a sensi-
BILE argument to The point is the other
half. Put your adversary on the defen-
siye as soon as possible and keep him
there as long as possible. To accomplish
this first get a clear idea of the case
yourself. especially the facts. Next, sat
Grate yourself with the law. Read all
YOU can find on the subject, especially
the decisions of your own State, but cite
only cases in point.
Until YOU have a case, read law every
day 1t is best to read by subjects, and
the subject should not be too comprehen-
5sive Take given subject and read
every Virginia case on it. and then every
case in United States Supreme Court,
then such other reports YOU have
Take notes as you read, and after getting
through, make a digest of your notes,
dividing the subject into proper heads.
and as YOU come to each head re-read the
cases YOU have placed under that head.
A Young lawyer needs a tonic to keep

the Lord Chancellors and Chief Justices
Of England or biographies of the great
LAWYERS of America. He should also keep
