Lawyers tell stories.
Whether arguing to the jury, developing the facts in a brief, or explaining ourselves to our clients, our stock in trade is the compelling, colorful, understandable narrative. In this book of 29 short stories, Lawrence J. Fox provides a partial remedy to this problem. He uses fiction because it is readable and because fiction allows him to tell the truth. Unencumbered by the limitations of confidentiality, his stories have the taste of real experience and, at times, the feel of real anguish. Nothing said at the mini-trial can be used at any subsequent trial.
