Abraham Lincoln learned the law by borrowing books and training informally with practicing lawyers. He was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1836 and practiced law there for 25 years. Most of his work involved settling debts, contracts, business disputes, divorces, and some criminal cases.William Henry Herndon was a political advisor, biographer, and the last law partner of President Abraham Lincoln.

During his 1847-1849 tenure as a United States Congressman, partner William H. Herndon (1818-1891) maintained the practice. Accompanied by copies of original provenance documents used to authenticate the relic.
