Paul Dewitt Carrington’s father enjoyed an eminent career as a Dallas lawyer while his uncle, Charles McCormick achieved fame as a law professor. Inspired by their two examples, the author embarked in 1957 on a career as a law professor, sometime lawyer, and advocate of diverse law reforms.
In this book, A LUCKY LAWYER’S LIFE” (published by Xlibris) he recounts his 55 year career in law and politics, its relation to his family origins, and to his 63 years of marriage to his late wife Bessie and the amazing lives of their descendants.
“This book shares a happy story as well as an account of our legal institutions and profession,” Carrington says. “A vast number of written expressions of admiration for my wife have left me with an ambition to prepare a biography of her, the treasure of the lucky life I have recorded in this book.”
“A LUCKY LAWYER’S LIFE” hopes to make readers realize that a career in law can be useful and gratifying to those who are ready to dedicate their lives in this profession. This book is also dedicated to the memory of Carrington’s wife who passed away in April 2016 while this book was nearing completion. He considers his life as a celebration of the family he created with Bessie.
