| Summary | "A Philadelphia Lawyer in the London Courts" by Thomas Leaming is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the English legal system through the experiences of an American lawyer. Leaming provides insights into the customs, practices, and distinctions between barristers and solicitors in England, drawing comparisons to the American legal system. The opening of the work introduces readers to the author's preface, establishing the context for his observations during visits to British law courts. Leaming notes that American lawyers often struggle to understand the unique structure of the English legal profession, particularly the roles of barristers and solicitors. He discusses the formalities of courtrooms, the distinctive attire such as wigs and gowns, the hierarchical nature of legal participation, and the vital differences in legal customs. Throughout this introductory section, he sets the stage for a detailed exploration that promises to reveal the differences and similarities between the two legal traditions while also expressing admiration for the British system's efficiency and organization.
