This is the first book to explore in depth the eight years that Jefferson spent as a trial lawyer. Frank L. Dewey considers how Jefferson prepared for his career, how he acquired a clientele, what kind of cases he handled, how he fared financially, and why he retired from the law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe principal sources for this account are found in unpublished notes of Jefferson.
