Summary

"Veteran oral historian and folklorist William Lynwood Montell has brought together a collection of tales gathered from lawyers and judges throughout the Volunteer State. Montell searched small towns and cities across Tennessee for the law's older and middle-aged practitioners, and he shares the wealth of their experience in Tales from Tennessee Lawyers. These stories are recorded exactly as told by the lawyers themselves, and they reveal candid and unusual snapshots of the legal system - both past and present."--BOOK JACKET.

Author Biography

William Lynwood Montell is emeritus professor of folk studies at Western Kentucky University.
