Abraham Lincoln's Notes for a Law Lecture

Robert Ambrogi's LawSites excerpts some advice from Lincoln to young lawyers and law students. For example: "There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. ... Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer."
