It was thus natural and proper for revolutionary lawyers in the making to take the lead in protesting these laws, at least insofar as they seemed a break with precedent as well as sound policy. It was natural and proper as well for lawyers attached to the crown interest to defend Grenville’s policies, for surely Parliament, which Grenville led, was a legitimate source of new legislation. Thus the lawyers on both sides of the issue joined combat in the court of public opinion.","PeriodicalId":217492,"journal":{"name":"The Clamor of Lawyers","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124430993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But it cannot be laid at the threshold of the revolutionary lawyers’ offices. Their conduct in the controversy thus far was wholly responsible and measured. Dulany wrote with judicial restraint. Otis, Dickinson, Bland, and Fitch were respectful. Only Hopkins blustered. All were careful not to defame their opponents in the colonies or the home country (not least because such defamation might lead to prosecution for seditious libel). In the main, they acknowledged their contributions to the debate by signing their essays. Reconciliation should have followed, could have followed, had not leaders across the water insisted on renewing Grenville’s legalist program.","PeriodicalId":217492,"journal":{"name":"The Clamor of Lawyers","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132381148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
