Seventeen trials, examined through the decisions behind them
Steven Brill organizes this account around 17 courtroom trials, tracing the tactics, deals, and decisions that shaped their outcomes. Interviews with attorneys, jurors, and other people involved add perspectives from beyond the courtroom argument itself. Together, the cases offer a portrait of how the American justice system operates, with attention to the practical choices and negotiations that can influence a trial. Published in 1990, the book presents these cases as major legal stories of the preceding decade.
