'Max D. Steuer: Trial Lawyer:' A Son's Tribute to His Father "Max D. Steuer: Trial Lawyer" by New York Supreme Court Justice Aron Steuer, published by Random House, 457 Madison Ave., New York 22, is the trib- ute of an able son to a brilliant father whose mastery of cross- examination made him famous in the legal fields. The genius of Steuer is il- lustrated by the inclusion of five summaries of his most famous cases, among them the morals charge against Tex Rickard and the famous Triangle Fire. For lawyers this can serve as a text- book. For laymen, the book is an interesting description of an at- torney's shrewd method of pressing the truth out of stub- born witnesses. Justice Steuer makes these interesting comments: "Mr. Steuer's passing coin- cided With the end of an era. The trial men of the great generation of which he was the leader are gone with him or have practically retired from trial work: Edward Mooney, Herbert Smythe, Em- ory Buckner, Martin Conboy, Samuel Untermyer, Martin Littleton, Joseph Proskauer, Isidore Gainsburg and others comprising a mighty host. They have not been replaced. "It is not that today's law- yers are not so goad. They are every bit as good and in some ways better. But the energies of the top men are not direct- ed to trial work except in a few specialties .... One of the factors that has tended to bring this about is that bane of so many institutions: rising costs. Only the very rich and those who have nothing to lose can afford to litigate. So that when the dramatic case does occasionally appear, it is no longer the arena where the Titans do battle . . . It is fre- quently found that the trial men even in the specialties are country-bred lawyers." Justice Steuer states at the outset that his book about his father is not a biography but rather a study of his legal ac- tivities. There is, however, a brief review of Max Steuer's life, on the East Side of New York; his schooling; his home life; his knowledge of Yiddish which was spoken at home. The major aim of the book, however, is to prove Max Steuer's keen- ness in cross-examination. From this point alone, the book has unusual value for all students of the law.
