An audiobook not only for lawyers, but for a very wide circle of readers—because the cases presented in it are still read like exciting documentary detective stories!
Anatoly Fedorovich Koni (1844–1927) was a doctor of criminal law, famous courtroom orator, prominent state and public figure, one of the largest figures in jurisprudence of the Russian Empire. He began his career as a prosecutor, and later became known for his incorruptible honesty as a judge. Koni also worked in literature—he is known as the author of memoirs about great people of his time.
This collection includes not only A. Koni’s best speeches in his capacity as an accuser, but also famous addresses to the jury and cassation rulings—already during his time as a judge. The book will be interesting not only to lawyers and students studying jurisprudence, but to the broadest readership as well—because the cases presented here are still read like gripping documentary detective stories.
