Justice at Trial

Courtroom Battles and Groundbreaking Cases

De: James J. Brosnahan, Erwin Chemerinsky - foreword

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Jim is the very definition of a trial lawyer, who’s very strong belief in the legal system is reflected in all he does. He is an advocate for the rights covered under the constitution. He is a fantastic trial advocacy teacher and a wonderful storyteller. He is respected and admired by all. (Wendy McCormack, Executive Director National Institute for Trial Advocacy)

A lawyer’s lawyer in the best possible sense, a lion not just of the trial bar but of the law, James J. Brosnahan has finally written the memoir every lawyer will want to read. Decorated, celebrated, and beloved, Jim is that truly rare master of both civil and criminal litigation who is also a great human being. (Laurence Tribe, Carl M. Loeb University Professor at the Harvard Law School)

Jim Brosnahan is universally recognized in the profession as one of this country’s top attorneys and as a leading advocate for the responsibility of lawyers and judges to assure that the rule of law reflects the norms of justice. His advocacy has involved some of the most significant issues of our time, and his teaching and passion for providing access to justice on the part of the unrepresented have inspired generations of young lawyers. His memoir, combining humor with thoughtful insight about the nature of law, is bound to be of interest to the general public as well. (Honorable Joseph Grodin, Emeritus Professor of Law, Former Justice on the California Supreme Court)
