Summary "Counsel for the Defense" by Leroy Scott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the fictional town of Westville and revolves around Dr. David West, who finds himself embroiled in a scandal when he is accused of accepting a bribe in relation to the town's new water-works project. His daughter, Katherine, a young woman recently returned home, takes it upon herself to defend her father against these charges, facing societal pressures and challenges along the way. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the character of Arnold Bruce, the editor of the local newspaper, the "Express", who is preparing for a celebration of Westville’s new municipal project. The atmosphere is one of excitement and community pride, but this is soon overshadowed by the shocking news of Dr. West's arrest for the alleged bribery. Katherine arrives home to learn of her father's predicament, which takes her by surprise and sets her on a determined path to prove his innocence. Her journey as a fledgling lawyer unfolds amidst skepticism from the townsfolk, the complexities of the legal system, and her interactions with significant figures, including the disapproving Bruce. The opening chapters set the stage for a gripping courtroom drama, framed by themes of loyalty, integrity, and the fight against injustice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
