Read in January, 2007
recommends it for: anyone interested in criminal justice, civil liberties, judaism
Very good read on some interesting social and legal issues from a famed civil liberties lawyer. Not only does this capitalize on the already-interesting world of criminal law, but it does so in a compelling, readable way. Lots of Jewish issues implicated.
