The Making of a Country Lawyer by Gerry Spence

Spence is incredibly fascinating to me. I first learned about him while attending a legal seminar in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Several attorneys at the seminar had attended Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming and spoke very highly about him and their experience. This is a memoir/autobiography about Spence and his formative years, his relationships with his parents, and formative experiences from his law practice. I found nuggets of wisdom in this book, and really enjoyed it.
