| 1. |  | Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away With Murder
from Island Books
Customer Review:
I really loved Helter Skelter, Vincent Bugliosi is a super intelligent and talented former DA. I was slightly dissapointed in this book because it was a little too verbose for my taste. A lot of legal chargin. But its great if your an attorney and you want to learn how to be a good trial lawyer,... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

I've read most of Mr Dunne's books and he continues to hold my interest. I have the utmost of respect for this gentleman...his unbiased yet "in your face" take on the upper crust's trials and tribulations are bar none...right on the money, so to speak.
I hope Mr Dunne keeps on doing what he... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Closed Chambers: The First Eyewitness Account of the Epic Struggles Inside the Supreme Court
from Crown
Customer Review:
Edward Lazarus's Closed Chambers is a master work; and joins Bernard Schwartz's Super Chief as the two best books I've read to date about the Supreme Court. I strongly disagree with the opinion that Lazarus's book does not deliver what it promises.
The Supreme Court is an institution chock-full... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President
from Random House
Customer Review:
Nobody comes out of this story looking particularly good -- in case there were any doubts. Jeffrey Toobin has carefully gone over the historical and legal issues and can find no one who lacks culpability. Yes, actually, there was a "vast conspiracy" but it was a conspiracy of lawyers more than... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

This is one of my favorite books I've read in recent years. It opens your eyes to the horrible tactics used by corporate lawyers to deny victims their full day in court. Also, Nader and Smith present bulletproof arguments against tort reform. You will learn a TON by reading this. | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | v. Goliath: The Trials of David Boies
from Pantheon
Customer Review:
Karen Donovan's book is something of a biography, a Grisham novel, a history book, and a litigation primer all wrapped into one. (As a litigator, I'm actually thinking that some of the strategies related in the book would be helpful for me in court.) Thoroughly engaging and entertaining, Ms. Donovan... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
