E-text prepared by D Alexander, Juliet Sutherland, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Case and Exceptions: Stories of Counsel and Clients" by Frederick Trevor Hill is a collection of legal-themed short stories written in the late 19th century. The book centers on the intricacies of the law, exploring the relationships and conflicts between various lawyers and their clients. Through a series of narratives, it delves into the moral dilemmas, passionate defenses, and unforeseen consequences faced by legal practitioners in their pursuit of justice. At the start of the collection, a lawyer is in the courtroom, awaiting the jury's verdict on a case that has been a source of immense personal strain for him. He reflects on his deep friendship with his client, Godfrey Warren, who is on trial for the murder of a man who harmed his beloved dog, Fantine. The lawyer grapples with his sense of failure in representing Warren and is tormented by the thought of his friend's fate being decided by indifferent jurors. This opening sets a tone of emotional intensity and legal complexity, laying the groundwork for a profound examination of the human experience within the legal system.
