Description
Fyodor Nikiforovich Plevako (1842–1908) was a talented orator and an outstanding Russian lawyer; even people far from jurisprudence know his name. The lawyer became famous for his ability to convince any jury panel of the innocence of his clients. This collection includes Plevako’s most well-known speeches—speeches that are not only exemplary of the art of speaking and of advocacy, but also captivating stories. What mitigating circumstances can be found for Abbess Mitrofania, who cynically pocketed huge sums from the funds of trusting parishioners? How can you justify Prince Gruzinsky, who shot a young governess of his children in front of witnesses? How to untangle a tangled family drama that unfolded on the estate of the Lukashevich landlords, and a bold theft of valuable papers from the wealthy Galich? And what truly lay at the heart of the scandalous trial of Officer Bartenev, who killed a beautiful actress— the trial that inspired Bunin to write the brilliant story “The Case of Cornet Yelagin”?
