The manuscript of the book Court Tales, Trials and Appeals relates to the actual experiences of James B. Lovelace, a retired lawyer and 1926 alumnus of the University of Virginia Law School. He offers advice and points out pitfalls to the law student and young lawyer that they would not find in a textbook or case book. Although the cases were tried in North Carolina, and involve North Carolina law, the procedure is identical to that used in code states, and the principles of law involved are mostly common law. The book is primarily intended to further prepare the law student for his or her practical life as a trial lawyer.

This collection contains the professional papers of Jeffrey O'Connell and includes research materials and clippings, professional and personal correspondence, publishing and editing material for many books, and information on O'Connell's method for public speaking.

In 1964-1965, he was associate director of the Study of Proposed Improvements in the Automobile Personal Injury Claims System at Harvard, where, with Judge Robert E. Keeton, he established the principle of no-fault insurance, the "Basic Protection Plan." O'Connell's projects included applying this principle to other areas of tort law, such as athletic injuries.
