The Devil's Advocates: Greatest Closing Arguments in Criminal Law by H. Mitchell Caldwell, Michael S. Lief

5.0

This is the third book of a trilogy about law cases that have shaped American law, with a specific focus on the closing arguments. It was fascinating. I loved hearing about the cases they picked and the variety was great. I loved reading the closing arguments. I loved learning about how legal arguments have changed and how very common modern day practices came to be.

I think the authors did a fantastic job with both choosing the cases to discuss and actually discussing them. It was brilliant. It was fascinating. I adored every second I was reading it. It's also written in a very easy to read way. You don't need to know anything about the law to be able to enjoy this. I certainly don't, but I loved all three books in the series.

Highly recommend and I'm mostly just sad I've read them all. I'll be doing rereads of these for sure.
