Speaking Engagements
Isn’t it time someone made a compelling case for restoring the reputation of the legal profession?
With his newest book, Talmage Boston brings this question to the forefront through his review of iconic figures that have brought integrity and honor to the status of the lawyer in American society. In Raising the Bar, Talmage brings to life the stories of some of our most distinguished attorneys, and inspires today’s practitioners to follow in their footsteps.
The book profiles in depth the lives and legal careers of Abraham Lincoln, Leon Jaworski and James A. Baker, III, whose times in the trenches first as lawyers, and then as government leaders, speak to us now as to the wisdom, integrity, and tenacity lawyers must exhibit daily to transform the public mindset toward the profession.
In the world of fiction, Atticus Finch—among the most popular literary characters ever put on page and screen—remains an icon, and as Talmage’s book establishes, his story is essentially based on non-fiction. Raising the Bar also profiles popular lawyer-novelists John Grisham, Richard North Patterson and Louis Auchincloss, who have brought and continue to bring legal issues to the public’s attention, showing us both the successes and failings of our legal system.
Talmage Boston’s detailed accounts of these men, characters, and issues provide lawyers with a statement of aspirational goals for their personal and professional lives. Embracing these stories with a renewed passionate perspective toward the profession can only cause readers of Talmage’s book to raise the bar.
