Description

"How Can You Represent Those People? is the first-ever collection of essays offering a response to the 'Cocktail Party Question' asked of every criminal lawyers: how do you represent guilty criminals? The contributors are a diverse group of prominent lawyers and rising stars, each offering a different - and often very personal - perspective on 'the Question'. Many share stories - comic and tragic, stirring and heartbreaking - about how it feels to defend people accused of crimes ranging from the 'ordinary' to the horrific. This fascinating collection is a must-read for anyone interested in crime, punishment, race, poverty, and the motivations of criminal lawyers"--Unedited summary from book cover.
