Product Description

Product Description

Over the course of a legal career spanning more than five decades, Edward F. Hennessey served with distinction as a trial lawyer, legal educator, and justice on the Massachusetts Superior Court and Supreme Judicial Court—during a period of extraordinary changes in the law, the courts and society, changes that are depicted in this engaging collection of his selected writings.

This book is part of MCLE's Legal Heritage Series—a unique collection of books that celebrate Massachusetts' rich legal history and the people, institutions, and stories that are a part of it. All proceeds from the sales of Legal Heritage Series books support MCLE's Scholarship Endowment.
