nonfiction
recommended for: Interested in the criminal justice system
This book should be required as part of 1L reading in law school. It is an honest portrait of the criminal justice system from the perspective of all parties involved, the accused, the victim, the prosecutor, the defense attorney, the judge, etc. When people ask me why I represent criminal defendants or better yet, "what is wrong with our system" I recommend this book. It is a short read but one that will make you examine your beliefs in the criminal justice system.
