About this listen
This unique memoir weaves the stories of six dramatic public court cases into the fabric of the American legal systems, and shows how lawyers and judges are our last remaining protections against tyranny. These cases not only changed the lives of those directly involved, but of us all.
The stories are unusual: A little war no listener will likely have heard of is declared on the US Army; three horrifying murders are committed on a secure American military base, but no one will prosecute the probable murderer; a court doesn’t realize that it has a chance to stop what became the 2007-2008 world financial crisis; the parents of “Baby Jane Doe” - a child born with life-threatening medical conditions - fight for their right to determine their child’s medical care against political zealots; the author goes to the Supreme Court to argue the first local reapportionment case in the nation; and, in a racially-charged court confrontation, a local suburban community is made to realize that the policies it was proud of for many years have a dramatically different meaning and impact for a significant part of its population. These cases reshaped Constitutional law.
