Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Thirty years in the works, “Fight Back Legal Abuse” is the story of one woman’s fight against a corrupt legal system. Following her own dealings with three negligent attorneys, as well as years of case studies from the abused, author Rose Colombo fights back as an advocate for victims of legal abuse. With her “Ph.D. in judicial corruption,” Colombo uses more than two decades of true short stories related to injustices, first-hand experiences; documentation, interviews, and proposals of new laws, to make a case for the reformation of the judicial system.
Rose Colombo hit the news when she asked the question, "How much justice can you afford?" Written in a language understood by all, void of the legal jargon used by lawyers to overwhelm and confuse their clients, Colombo fights back and refuses to go down to the level of corrupt lawyers. Instead, she forces them to come up to hers. Synopsis:Most people know nothing about the legal system. We must not go down to their level but must force them to come up to our level. Synopsis:Rose Colombo hit the news when she asked the question, "How much justice can you afford?" Colombo said she walked into the courtroom of no justice wealthy and walked out of the courtroom poor after she was thrust into the dark side of justice and felt as if she had been stripped of her freedom and thrown into a concentration camp with no rights. Most people know nothing about the legal system. We must not go down to their level but must force them to come up to our level.
Synopsis:In The Nine, acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the chambers of the most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, revealing the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land. An institution at a moment of transition, the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the Courts history and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates in The Nine a riveting story of one of the most important forces in American life today.
