Description

Book Synopsis
Offers the memoir of a public interest lawyer driven by the cause of justice. While the stories Stephen Saltonstall tells are entertaining, they are also instructive, providing, as he says, ‘an insider look at the American justice system, which is rigged against the poor and people of color and tolerates police perjury.’
