An easily read, exciting memoir of real-life jury trials from the long, rewarding career of small-town trial lawyer George S. Keller. A spellbinding orator, he discusses thorny issues with simple clarity, showing the universal in the personal. Many of the cases Keller relates could be scripted for the movies. You'll read about "The Case of the Lima, Ohio Stuntflyer Who Lost His Passenger." In "Jose Sierra vs. Daisy Minnear," a middle-aged woman got away with marrying the hired hand when her husband died, & divorcing him two month later to avoid paying him 7 years worth of back wages. In "Wycko vs. Gnodtke," Keller recounts his case that went to the Michigan Supreme Court to establish a new measure of damages--loss of companionship--in wrongful death cases, replacing the Dickensian era harsh & impractical rule of "pecuniary injuries (WYCKO VS. GNODTKE 361 MICH 331)." Lawyers, judges, law students, & all students of human nature will find VIEW FROM THE TOP an illuminating & inspiring overview of the field of trial law in 20th century America.
