Features: Most Harvard Law School students enter determined to change the world, following in the footsteps of "the father of the consumer movement," Ralph Nader and Robert F. Kennedy. But by the time they graduate, they end up in large law firms with no interest in changing anything. Where does the problem lie? This book attempts to provide an insider's report on the realities of American law. Lawyers should read it, and those who want to become lawyers should read it even more, because this book will completely change your perspective and life. Written from the perspective of a novelist, the author narrates story after story. He was once an insider and a witness, and later became a skillful and persuasive storyteller. He focuses on historical records, allowing his emotions, insights, and sentiments to rest on the facts and each unique situation. Scene after scene of classroom settings unfolds before the reader, as if we are all jurors, evaluating the evidence.
