5.0

This is a great book for anyone interested in learning about the REALITY of the legal system, realistic ins and outs of law cases, and seeking justice. A must for current or aspiring Lawyers. 

It also shows off the best part of Cochran's career that is often not praised enough in the media, his many years devoted to Civil Rights Law, especially to cases of true police brutality and misconduct. 

That is why O.J. Simpson's defense desperately saught after him to join their "Dream Team" after they learned that Mark Furman was the lead investigator, and allegedly a racist Cop who admittedly plants evidence on Black defendents, etc. Although only a little is about O.J. in this book. Get his first book "Journey to Justice" for that.
