He was the author of:
Corrigan, John C., Jr. "Did the Borden Trial Serve Justice?" Lizzie Borden Quarterly I.2 (April 1993): 1.
Corrigan, Governor of the Mass. Academy of Trial Attorneys and chair of the Legal and Forensics section of the Bristol Community College Centennial Conference, evaluates the trial of Lizzie Borden from a legal standpoint.
Thanks Kash.
And Stef for the extra info.
He's the man on all the video's!
I remember him. At first I got him confused with another Corrigan who is a Miller scholar, but after reading the obit, I see it is the lawyer Corrigan, not the professor Corrigan. It is a nice name. Irish?
Can this article be summarized here? Back issues on-line?
Yes, I would say it served "justice".
Justinian defined justice as "giving to each man what is due to him". As slippery as from any lawyer?
Didn't one of the early accounts of the Borden murders say the Bordens employed a servant named "Lizzie Corrigan"? (Yes, it does sound like a good Irish name.)
Thanks for the great post, Kash. I'd think "Corrigan" is Irish. I can't place the name "Lizzie Corrigan". It'd be interesting if we found it.
C, O, double R, I, G, A, N spells Corrigan. Corrigan that's me!
Sorry I couldn't resist. The above paraphrase from the George M. Cohan, song "Harrigan"
Corrigan sounds like it has more than a wee bit of Irish in it.
Harry, you are cute.
Thanks Augusta, but I should have resisted. Now I'll be humming that damn tune to myself the rest of the day!
Just think Baseball.
Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd, buy me some peanuts and craker jacks, I don't care if I never get back, let me root, root, root for the home team, if they don't win it's a shame. Cuz it's one, two, three, strikes you're out at the old ball game!
A new tune to replace the cohen one you infected yourself with earlier!
There used to be a T.V. series called Harrigon, with that song and I used to sing it on the way to school.
Is that the right name?
We always tormented unfortunates in junior high with (after playing a practical joke of some unmentionable sort): G-U-Double L-I-B-L-E spells Gullible
I think that Edward Pearson and Robert Sullivan died soon after their books named Lizzie guilty; some kind of curse?
Kat,
Does the song you remember go something like this?
H-A-double R-I, G-A-N you see,
It's a name that no shame has ever been connected with,
Harrigan, That's me!
That's IT!!!
Oh we have an interesting crew here with all kinds of useful knowledge!
Thanks!
