Recenzii
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.
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.
Jim Brosnahan has participated in important national cases for many years.
James Brosnahan is a great trial lawyer, one long recognized within the legal community as a preeminently skilled and successful advocate. He knows how to tell a story to a jury and his memoir vividly describes cases he has tried in a manner that all readers can understand and enjoy. Just about every chapter could be made into a movie, as could the compelling story he tells of his own life.
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.
Jim Brosnahan has been a Lion of the Courtroom for 50 years. Whether in trial as a treasured ally or a fearsome opponent, he never wavered from demonstrating the finest qualities of a lawyer and a man. His memoir has much to teach and to emulate.
I first met Jim Brosnahan in the courtroom, where we collaborated as co-counsel or fought as opposing counsel in some of the most colorful trials of our respective legal careers that span many years. He is passionate about the law.
This is a riveting and soulful memoir that reveals the relentless pursuit of life, liberty, and justice. An international trial lawyer and trial advocacy teacher, Jim Brosnahan describes a life dedicated to seeking and solving the conflicts that threaten humanity and human dignity. This book is an inspiration to every person who wonders if they have the stamina to answer the call to the Bar.
A combination of trial lawyer memoir and the contemporary justice system, "Justice at Trial: Courtroom Battles and Groundbreaking Cases" is an extraordinary, informative, insightful, professional, and personal story of life in the law. [Very] highly recommended, especially for community, college, and university library Contemporary American Biography/Memoir collections and supplemental Judicial Studies curriculum studies lists, it should be noted for law students, academia, political law reform advocates, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject.
