In 1960, the Right Honorable Lord Birkett
of the English Bar delivered an address to the Association of
theBar of the City of New York in which he said, "I suppose
a proper difinition of advocacy might be the art of persuasion."
"The true secret of persuasion
is that it never converts; it speaks to its own only; and discovers
to them the unexpected secrets of their hearts." - Freya Stark Perseus In The Wind
Jac Chambliss was born into the legal
profession, the first grandchild on both sides of the family.
His grandfathers Chambliss and Sizer, both lawyers, became partners
when Margaret Sizer and John Chambliss married in 1910. Jac was
born later that year. Because they were lawyers, as well as was
his father, he grew up in an atmosphere of legal talk. |
