Fyodor Nikiforovich Plevako (1842 – 1908) was a talented orator and a distinguished Russian lawyer, known even to those with no legal background. He was renowned for his ability to convince any jury of his clients' innocence. This collection includes Plevako's most famous speeches, which not only exemplify his oratory and advocacy but also offer fascinating insights. What mitigating circumstances can be found for Abbess Mitrofania, who cynically pocketed vast sums from the funds of gullible parishioners? How can Prince Gruzinsky be justified for shooting his children's young tutor in front of witnesses? How can we understand the complex family drama that unfolded on the estate of the Lukashevich landowners and the brazen theft of securities from the wealthy Galich? And what really lay at the heart of the scandalous trial of officer Bartenev, who killed the beautiful actress – a trial that inspired Bunin to write his brilliant story, “The Case of Cornet Elagin”?
