The book never goes into detail about Atticus' service in the Alabama legislature. His length of office, or whether or he held office while living at Finch's landing or in Maycomb (where the bulk of the story takes place.) However, in Alabama it was common for young lawyers to run for legislature to build their name recognition and bolster their practice. Usually after a term or two they would retire to private practice. Author Harper Lee's father was a lawyer and she likely knew of the customs of Alabama lawyer-legislators.
