Lecture Abraham Lincoln, Esquire
All-Day Seminar
America has had 43 presidents, 26 of whom were lawyers. Abraham Lincoln was admitted to the bar of Illinois in 1836, and he practiced law there until he moved to the White House in 1861. Today, attorney and scholar Arthur T. Downey explores Lincoln's law practice and some of the fundamental legal issues he had to resolve as president. Also discussed are the many constitutional questions created by the crisis of the Civil War.
