Acclaimed novelist Short here turns his hand toward the biography of a colorful Southern lawyer who refuses to fit into any convenient pigeonholes. Short's subject, a former Alabama assistant attorney general who is now one of the South's prominent plaintiff's attorneys, gained a reputation for taking unpopular and often controversial cases. This authorized bio tracks McPhillip's career from collegiate All-American heavyweight wrestler to equally dogged watchdog of the public trust.

More About the Author
I once interviewed an elderly blues musician who told me, "Some people play the blues for love. Some play for money. I play because I can't help myself." Same goes for me and writing. Been doing it since I was 15, and hope to do it for a long time yet. You can see a list of some of my books on the left side of this page.

Fantastic!,

This review is from: The People's Lawyer: The Colorful Life & Times of Julian L. McPhillips, Jr. (Paperback)
I just received the book today and cannot put it down. Mr. McPhillips seems to have an interesting and full life. Great for history buffs, and someone that just wants to feel inspired by the morals and personal convictions of which he subscribes.
