Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, His Law Partners, Clerks and Office Boys It is more than a twice-told tale how he failed to appreciate the real value of his own services as. A lawyer, and charged less than any other practitioner of his ability and station, to the great annoyance of partners and other practitioners alike. His famous causes, or most all of them, have been listed and enumerated, and an entire literature has sprung up about many of them; but one phase of his practice which took him on the Circuit for months at a time, has somehow been overlooked, and this omission has to do with some of the local partners he had in different points in Illinois - particularly in the Eighth Circuit.
