Counselor at Law - Orson Welles Campbell Playhouse

Counselor-at-Law aired on January 6, 1939, and featured Orson Welles in a gripping performance of the fast-paced legal drama originally written by Elmer Rice.

George Simon is a brilliant and successful New York lawyer who has risen from poverty on the Lower East Side to become one of the city's most sought-after attorneys. Jewish, sharp-witted, and proud of his immigrant background, Simon represents everyone from gangsters to widows, navigating a chaotic office filled with secretaries, clerks, and desperate clients.
