The lawyers Shay and McIntyre, counsel for Hains Bros., stand together on a courthouse staircase in New York, a setting that signals a case being fought in public. The Hains name was tied to a sensational murder case that filled New York newspapers in the years before World War I, and press photographers like those of the Bain News Service recorded such figures on the steps of local courts. The record gives no date, so the exact day is unknown, but the picture still shows how legal business and press attention met on the city's courthouse steps in that era.
