He was the defender of Evelyn Dick, charged with killing her husband and infant son in Hamilton in 1906. And of Steven Suchan, a member of the famous Boyd Gang. He was Canada's top Canadian lawyer from the 1930s to the 1980s, showing unparalleled versatility and virtuosity whether acting as counsel in criminal, civil, or constitutional cases, at both the trial and appeals levels. Now here is the colourful story of Robinette's life and cases, told by George D. Finlayson, a renowned lawyer and Ontario Court of Appeals judge who worked with Robinette at their law firm, McCarthy & McCarthy. This is the story of a great man, of the maturing of the legal profession in Canada, and of Canada in the twentieth century.
