WRIGHT, SAMUEL A.: A SEATTLE ATTORNEY who has gained prominence in his 
profession is Samuel A. Wright, of Wright & Wright.  Mr. Wright is a native of 
Nebraska, born in 1889.  His early educational training was had in public 
schools, following which he began preparation for his chosen profession.  He 
is a graduate of the university of Washington, from which he took both the 
degree of A. B. and of LL. B., and was admitted to practice in 1912.  In 
argument he is usually brief, but he covers every phase of the matter at bar, 
while his points of law are strong and exceptionally well taken.  While he 
appreciates a fine legal point whenever made, at the same time Mr. Wright is 
vigorously opposed to any effort, in or out of court that obscures the justice 
of a case.  His contention being that all matters, large or small, are 
entitled to settlement upon the broad plane of merit.  In court his discussion 
of legal matters manifests his comprehensive knowledge of law, while his 
application of legal principles demonstrates the wide range of his 
professional acquirements.  Mr. Wright, in 1913, married Miss Bertha Palmer, 
and the couple have on child, a girl.  Mr. Wright is a member of the Masonic 
bodies, Elks, Odd Fellows, Modern Woodmen, Ancient Order of United Workmen, 
and the county and state bar associations.
