DESCRIPTION:
Great Read!! What a great book. If ever one wanted to crawl into the mind of a Criminal Defense Attorney to see what made them tick this is the book! "How Can You Defend Those People" asked many times and finally answered. Mickey Sherman not only answers this question but many other questions I have had regarding this profession, .
