In books on people, it must be quite a task for the author to portray the activities of the subject. The way Paul Hoffman has done it of the trials of criminal lawyer Jack Everstoff, reminds me of jockey Edgar Prado melding with Barbaro.
Hoffman every now and then tells, how things would be different in a trial if it were handled by defense lawyers.
Without fail, for each of the case about to be narrated, Hoffman explains why as a reader should we find it interesting. What is Plea bargaining? How is an appellate process different?
It can be a little unsettling if you come to think of defence and justice.
