The Confessions of Artemas Quibble is a sharp and satirical look into the world of legal malpractice and the shyster lawyers of Old New York. Written by Arthur Train, a master of legal fiction, this work presents the fictionalized memoirs of Artemas Quibble, a man who finds his calling in the more dubious corners of the courtroom. The narrative follows Quibble's ascent from a humble background to a partner in the notorious firm of Gottlieb & Quibble, where the pursuit of justice is secondary to the pursuit of a fee.
Through a series of anecdotal confessions, the book exposes the underhanded tactics, jury tampering, and ethical shortcuts used by unscrupulous practitioners of the law during the turn of the century. Quibble's voice is one of cynical charm, offering readers an insider's perspective on the corruption and complexity of the legal system. As a classic piece of legal literature, The Confessions of Artemas Quibble remains a compelling exploration of human ambition and the blurred lines between legality and morality. It is both an entertaining crime story and a biting critique of professional ethics that continues to resonate with readers interested in the history of the American legal profession.
