	SIR ALEXANDER JAMES EDMUND COCKBURN - LoveToKnow Article on SIR ALEXANDER JAMES EDMUND COCKBURN
		He was the son of Alexander, fourth son of Sir James Cockburn, 6th baronet, his three uncles, who had successively held the title, dying without heirs.
		Young Alexander was at one time intended for the diplomatic service, and frequently during the legal career which he ultimately adopted he was able to make considerable use of the knowledge of foreign languages, especially French, with which birth and early education had equipped him.
		The greatest public occasion on which Sir Alexander Cockburn acted, outside his usual judicial functions, was that of the Alabama arbitration, held at Geneva in 1872, in which he represented the British government, and dissented from the view taken by the majority of the arbitrators, without being able to convince them.

	Negotiation
		Yet, lawyers routinely inform the opposing party about facts learned from their clients in order to bolster the strength of their cases, or reveal some damaging piece of information about their clients in order to show that the lawyer is bargaining in good faith.
		Lawyers also tend to denigrate their clients' positions on some issues or distance themselves from a client's unreasonable demands, as if the lawyer were negotiating on his or her own behalf.
		A lawyer who receives from opposing counsel an offer of settlement in a civil controversy or a proffered plea bargain in a criminal case should promptly inform the client of its substance unless prior discussions with the client have left it clear that the proposal will be unacceptable.

		He was the illegitimate son of James Hamilton (of a prominent Scottish family) and Rachel Faucett Lavien (daughter of a doctor-planter on Nevis and the estranged wife of a merchant).
		Although he believed the Constitution to be deficient in the powers that it gave the national government, he did much to get it ratified, particularly by means of his contributions to The Federalist.
		Hamilton was a well-to-do lawyer and banker (he helped to found the Bank of New York), and his own high connections aroused suspicion among the less conservative; his policies alienated agrarian interests and drew opposition from those who feared concentration of power in the federal government.
