In this chapter we earn that Atticus went to Montgomery to study law and returned to Maycomb after he was admitted to the bar. He began his practice there. HIs ofice was so small that all it had was a "hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard and an unsullied Code of Alabama." Unfortunately, his first two clients in Maycomb were the last two men that were hanged in the Maycomb county jail. They kept pleading Not Guilty to 1st degree murder, even though he urged them to plead Guilty. Then during Atticus' first several years in Maycomb, he helped put his brother (Uncle Jack) through medical school. Atticus remained in Maycomb then and made pretty decent money working for the county. Unfortunately, when Scout was two years old, she lost her mother. Atticus remained a bachelor from that point on, raising his two children the best he could with the help of Calpurnia, their cook
