By Nicole
February 12th is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln; he was born 200 years ago this month. Before Lincoln was President, he held many occupations, including flatboatman, storekeeper, and finally he became a lawyer. Interestingly, he did not formally attend law school but after much studying he completed several certifications and an examination to obtain his license to practice law in Illinois.
There are several sources for interesting information about our 16th President, including this website: Lincoln’s Advice for Lawyers
Below are links to a couple books about Lincoln, and several more can be found in the Law Library’s Treatise section.
