Justice at Trial: Courtroom Battles and Groundbreaking Cases
In this book discussion, legal legend James Brosnahan takes us on a compelling journey through the heart of pivotal issues that shape our world today, from gender discrimination and freedom of the press to voting rights, refugees, sexual harassment and false imprisonment, each anchored by his extensive experience having tried cases that have made headlines in the nightly news.
