Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From Clarence Darrow and the Nuremberg Trials to "The State of California v. Charles Manson", this one-of-a-kind collection brings together the impassioned words that put evil men to death, freed the innocent, and provided justice for the injured.

Review:

Don Franzen Los Angeles Times Book ReviewLawyers and nonlawyers will enjoy the passion and eloquence of these counselors; practitioners of law will find much to learn from them.

Review:

Richard Roberts The Indianapolis StarThe majesty of the law stands tall in this presentation of the powerful closing arguments in ten of the most dramatic and eventful trials of modern times....Relatively few people were present for their original delivery. Now anyone can revisit them.

Review:

Bruce D. Brown Legal TimesWhat makes Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury enjoyable, in the end, is the variety of styles in the volume — Spence's chatty informality; Darrow's use of the rhetorical question; Kunstler's blunt spoken tongue; Jackson's awesome solemnity....The flavor of the times comes through in the voices in the courtroom.

Review:

Henry G. Miller New York Law JournalAs much about history as advocacy.
