Fighting for Public Justice: Cases & Trial Lawyers That Made a Difference

Noted trial lawyer Gerry Spence says, "Everyone who cares about justice should buy this book!" Fighting for Public Cases and Trial Lawyers That Made a Difference shows what our civil justice system is all about -- trial lawyers battling for people against power. This unique book focuses on the cases brought by the Trial Lawyer of the Year Award finalists and winners in the first two decades of Trial Lawyers for Public Justice. By recounting the dramatic facts of their cases, Fighting for Public Justice documents the crucial role of our jury system and trial lawyers in exposing the truth and holding wrongdoers accountable. And it proves that trial lawyers -- working individually and together -- can be an enormously popular force for the public good. In the book's foreword, Erin Brockovich writes, "I used to hate lawyers. I thought all they cared about was power and money. I thought they didn't give a damn about ordinary people. Now I know better. Now I know that there are lawyers throughout America -- trial lawyers throughout America -- who spend their whole lives fighting for ordinary people. Trial lawyers who spend their time, their energy, and their money working to hold huge corporations, oppressive governments, and other wrongdoers accountable. Trial lawyers committed to ensuring that justice prevails."
