A unique and fascinating collection of more than 200 stories and anecdotes-some funny, some tragic, some bizarre, all based on interviews and correspondence with 80 Manitoba lawyers and retired judges. Included are chapters about the legendary Sam Freedman and Harry Walsh, the mysterious murder of a Winnipeg heiress in Florida, and a fatal duel in a blizzard in Northern Manitoba-as well as anecdotes on the often humorous and sometimes testy relationship between judges and lawyers, and lawyers and their clients.
