Lincoln the Lawyer, Bronze sculpture in Urbana, Illinois, US.
The bronze statue portrays Abraham Lincoln seated on a chair with a law book, located at the intersection of Race Street and Main Street.
Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1927, the monument represents Lincoln's early career as a circuit lawyer who traveled through Urbana from 1837 to 1848.
The statue stands in Carle Park near Urbana High School, marking the legal heritage of Illinois through its most notable historical figure.
The memorial received restoration work in 2003 and maintains its position as a National Register of Historic Places monument since March 2004.
Mrs. J.O. Cunningham, who knew Lincoln during his circuit lawyer period, funded the statue through a $10,000 bequest from her house sale.
