About

Reviews
"Reads more like a series of great short stories than a compilation of arguments in criminal cases…The use of an ensemble works well…They work well together and seem to relish the passion that transforms mundane cases into Supreme Court rulings."

"Makes for unexpectedly engaging reading-not only the arguments themselves (each an example of rhetorical mastery) but also the history provided to give each argument context."
