The Colorful Life and Times of Julian L. McPhillips, Jr.
by
Carroll Dale Short
"This book tells the story of an unusual lawyer whose distinguished track record illuminates the many civil rights issues unfortunately still facing our society at the beginning of a new century. Julian McPhillips has shaped a career around moral choices important not just to him personally but to the disadvantaged and the powerless. His biography is an eloquent portrait of a determined, hard-working advocate for the people, and it is also a road map to where civil rights battles are being fought today."
--Martin Luther King III
Acclaimed novelist Short here turns his hand toward the biography of a colorful Southern lawyer who refuses to fit into any convenient pigeonholes. Short's subject, a former Alabama assistant attorney general who is now one of the South's prominent plaintiff's attorneys, gained a reputation for taking unpopular and often controversial cases. This authorized bio tracks McPhillip's career from collegiate All-American heavyweight wrestler to equally dogged watchdog of the public trust.
