MORRIS, HENRY HARRIS

MORRIS, HENRY HARRIS
MORRIS, HENRY HARRIS (1878–1954), South African lawyer, for 20 years the leading defense counsel and King's Counsel at the South African criminal bar. Henry Morris was the son of Hyman Morris, president of the first synagogue in Johannesburg. Morris had a reputation for grasping the human essentials in a situation and for his acute understanding of motives. He was at his best in cross-examination, when he could be forceful and caustic, but also urbane. Morris left a book of memoirs, The First Forty Years (1948). (Lewis Sowden)

Encyclopedia Judaica. 1971.
