Download or read book Bad Lawyer written by Anna Dorn and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law school was never Anna Dorn's dream. It was a profession pushed on her by her parents, teachers, society... whatever. It's not the worst thing that can happen to a person; as Dorn says, law school was pretty "cushy" and mostly entailed wearing leggings every day to her classes at Berkeley and playing beer pong with her friends at night. The hardest part was imagining what it would be like to actually be a lawyer one day. But then she'd think of Glenn Close on Damages and Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, and hoped for the best. After graduation, however, Dorn realized that there was nothing sexy about being a lawyer. Between the unflattering suits, sucking up to old men, and spending her days sequestered in a soul-sucking cubicle, Dorn quickly learned that being a lawyer wasn't everything Hollywood made it out to be. Oh, and she sucked at it. Not because she wasn't smart enough, but because she couldn't get herself to care enough to play by the rules. Bad Lawyer is more than just a memoir of Dorn's experiences as a less-than-stellar lawyer; it's about the less-than-stellar legal reality that exists for all of us in this country, hidden just out of sight. It's about prosecutors lying and filing inane briefs that lack any semblance of logic or reason; it's about defense attorneys sworn to secrecy-until the drinks come out and the stories start flying; and it's about judges who drink in their chambers, sexually harass the younger clerks, and shop on eBay instead of listening to homicide testimony. More than anything, this book aims to counteract the fetishization of the law as a universe based entirely on logic and reason. Exposing everything from law school to law in the media, and drawing on Dorn's personal experiences as well as her journalistic research, Bad Lawyer ultimately provides us with a fresh perspective on our justice system and the people in it, and gives young lawyers advice going forward into the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The prosecutor was crying..." Legal Discipline Office Director Dean Alessi and his Chief Investigator Stu Foley return in this third installment of the Lawyers Gone Bad series to open another "unofficial" investigation into lawyers gone bad. This time, their investigation may scuttle the hopes of Buffalo Stallions fans for a trip to the Super Bowl as they dig into whether the local District Attorney has been bribed by the Stallions' owner to dismiss a rape investigation into the team's young star QB, Jake Riley. After the prosecutor who had handled Riley's rape investigation cries during her secret meeting with Dean, he enlists Foley to help him uncover whether the DA was paid off. But as their investigation gets going, Dean and Foley find that there are others, including the Stallions' arch rival and perennial AFC champs, the Atlantic Colonials, interested in either revealing or burying the truth. That spells trouble not only for the Stallions, but for the alleged rape victim and a witness; and ultimately for Dean and Foley. Complicating matters along the way, the state Supreme Court's Chief Justice, Chip Krane, and Dean's former boss and now Supreme Court associate justice, Brad Gunther, are back monitoring his every move. All this culminates in an exciting and surprising conclusion that proves the old adage, "winning is everything." It also answers the question central to all Buffalo Stallions' fans - will the Stallions ever make it to another Super Bowl?

Book excerpt: In the fourth and final book of the acclaimed Lawyers Gone Bad Series, Lawyer Discipline Office Director, Dean Alessi, enlists the help of his recently retired Chief Investigator, Stu Foley, to undertake their toughest challenge yet - proving that newly elected NY Governor, Armstrong Nash, with designs on the White House, is a lawyer gone terribly bad. Dean receives a surprise visit from the beautiful lawyer, Kellie Sanger, daughter of Ted Sanger, Governor Nash's recently deceased Chief of Staff. While crying, Kellie tells Dean that on his deathbed only a week earlier, her father had confessed helping cover-up Governor Nash's rape of his teenage old babysitter six years earlier while a Congressman. This cover-up was aided by then Erie County DA, Sam Marcum, presently serving a life sentence for a murder Dean and Foley had helped proved three years earlier. In his deathbed confession, Ted Sanger tells Kellie the cover-up included murdering the teenage girl, her grandmother, and an ADA who had initially received the rape complaint and developed strong evidence incriminating Nash. This information makes it clear to Kellie, and Dean, why Governor Nash only days earlier had pardoned Marcum and his henchman, Stan Mazurka, as well as Marcum's lover, Susie Hines. Dean realizes that Kellie is in serious danger and hides her out at Foley's rural cabin while he and Foley try to prove that the Governor is not only a rapist, but a murderer. During the investigation, Dean's life spirals out of control as he falls in love with Kellie and receives devastating news from his wife of twenty years, Laura.

Book excerpt: People love to hate lawyers; they're perhaps the most distrusted among professionals.What's puzzling is that lawyers who commit crimes are often at the top of their profession-affluent, respected members of society who seem to have little reason for criminal behaviour. Philip Slayton spent 35 years as a lawyer. In Lawyers Gone Bad, he exposes the motivations and the stories of senior partners in influential Canadian firms who have illegally sustained expensive lifestyles, engaged in drug trafficking, been convicted of immigration fraud, laundered money, and been disbarred for having sex with clients. These are colourful, personal dramas that give insight into lawyers, legal practice, and how the law itself can fail or be twisted.

Download or read book Lawyer Games written by Dep Kirkland and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early morning of May 2, 1981, Danny Hansford was shot dead by James Williams with a World War II vintage Luger in a historic Savannah mansion. For the next eight-and-a-half years, through four murder trials and intrigue which reached the highest levels of Georgia politics—including a former governor and the Georgia Supreme Court—lawyers battled over whether the 50-year-old Williams shot the 21-year-old Hansford in self-defense. The case inspired a best-selling book and a movie directed by Clint Eastwood. Written by Dep Kirkland, who arrived at the scene when Hansford’s body was still on the floor, Lawyer Games is the true story of this remarkable case. Kirkland, the Chief Assistant DA at the time, made the decision to arrest Williams and tried the first of four murder trials alongside the district attorney. His firsthand knowledge allows him not only to deeply analyze the murder case but also to expose the legal mischief spawned when a defendant facing unshakable physical evidence possesses almost unlimited funds. True crime aficionados will be drawn to the two stories told in the book: The riveting story of the case, its evidence (including facts never heard in the courtroom), trials and results, and the incredible eight-year campaign to beat a murder rap no matter what, with a look behind the curtain at a darker side of the American criminal justice system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landon Reed is an ex-quarterback convicted of organizing a points-shaving scheme. During his time in prison, he found forgiveness and faith and earned his law degree. Now he longs for an opportunity to prove his loyalty and worth. Be careful what you ask for. Harry McNaughton is one of the founding partners of McNaughton & Clay—and the only lawyer willing to take a chance employing an ex-con-turned-lawyer. Though Landon initially questions Harry’s ethics and methods, it’s clear the crusty old lawyer has one of the most brilliant legal minds Landon has ever encountered. The two dive into preparing a defense for one of the highest-profile murder trials Virginia Beach has seen in decades when Harry is gunned down in what appears to be a random mugging. Then two more lawyers are killed when the firm’s private jet crashes. Authorities suspect someone has a vendetta against McNaughton & Clay, leaving Landon and the remaining partner as the final targets. As Landon struggles to keep the firm together, he can’t help but wonder, is the plot related to a shady case from McNaughton & Clay’s past, or to the murder trial he’s neck-deep in now? And will he survive long enough to find out?

Book excerpt: Vagablonde is a darkly humorous, rollercoaster ride through the Los Angeles music scene about a woman who wants two things, the first is to live without psychotropic medication, and the second is to experience success as an artist. A cautionary tale about viral fame, Vagablonde speaks directly to our time in biting detail. Prue Van Teesen is thriving. That is, her life looks good on paper. She has an easy government job, a nice girlfriend, and a budding music career. When Prue is introduced to producer Jax Jameson, they instantly click. Prue soon joins Jax in his "Kingdom," a collective of musicians and artists who share Prue's aesthetic sensibilities and lust for escapism. Soon, she's off her meds, closing her law practice, and becoming entangled with a suspect crew of heavy drug users. But the group they form, Shiny AF, is starting to take off and Prue is on the precipice of getting everything she thought she wanted. So, why is she still so miserable?

Download or read book No Lawyers in Heaven written by Henry Milner and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over forty years, criminal defence solicitor Henry Milner has been the go-to lawyer for some of Britain's most notorious and high-profile criminals – from Kenneth Noye and the Brink's-Mat robbers to gangster Freddie Foreman, John 'Goldfinger' Palmer and the gang who carried out the Millennium Dome raid. These and many others who reached serious misunderstandings with the law knew that once they were nicked, there was only one man to call: a genial cigar-smoking solicitor with an office tucked away in a leafy corner of central London, a man known to the Sunday Times as 'The Mr Big of Criminal Briefs'. In this remarkable memoir, Milner gives a real insight into the life of a top London criminal lawyer and into the mind of his clients, along the way introducing us to some of the most colourful characters ever to appear on either side of the dock. By turns shocking and hilarious, No Lawyers in Heaven gives a wry commentary on the frailty of human nature across the spectrum of the criminal justice system in a punchy narrative that could grace the pages of a bestselling crime novel.
