EMERSON H. CARRICO, of Seattle, is regarded as an exceptionally well qualified
lawyer.  Mr. Carrico was born in North Carolina, of French ancestry.  He came
to Seattle in 1905 and immediately began the practice of his profession.
While Mr. Carrico appreciates as much as anyone, a fine point of law when
made, at the same time he is opposed to any effort in or out of court that
will obscure the justice of a case.  His contention is, and has always been,
that all  matters, large or small, are entitled to settlement upon their
merits and not as a result of a maze of technicalities injected into the case.
He believes that an attorney should exhaust every resource in an effort to
protect the interests of the client, and to resort to every legitimate means
to that end.  In trial he is a consistent and conscientious fighter, and
although, from time to time pitted against some of the greatest lawyers of the
country in important litigation he has invariably proven equal to the
occasion.  On June 1, 1904, he was married to Miss Massie Rucker, of
Lynchburg, Virginia.  He is a member of the city and state bar associations,
St. John's Lodge, No 9, F. & A. M.; Lawson consistory No 1, Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite of the Freemasonry, and Nile Temple A. A. O. N. M. S.
of Seattle, Washington.
