From civil and criminal trials, all the way to the Supreme Court, James J. Brosnahan saw it all in his career of suspenseful courtroom work.
Follow a trial lawyer’s career through the demanding, often controversial, and suspenseful world of jury trials, tension-filled appeals, and the different worlds of courtrooms, jail cells, corporate boardrooms, and law firms. Each of the cases in the nineteen chapters were selected from a total of his 150 jury trials to reflect issues of current importance, including refugees on the Mexican border, gargantuan gender battles inside one of the largest corporations in the world, sexual taboos on national television, accusations of terrorism, government agents who cheat, innocent prisoners in our jails, the constitutional right to speak and print the truth, bringing law to a war zone, poverty and murder on Native American Reservations, current problems of hunger in America, and more.
Justice at Trial by James J. Brosnahan provides a captivating exploration into these varied and critical legal landscapes, offering readers an engaging insight into pressing societal issues through the lens of one lawyer's extensive and impactful career.
