Kimberly Jade Norwood, Editor 2016, Paperback, 251, 6 x 9
Most highly publicized cases of deadly force by police usually involve unarmed African American males. These incidents have caused dramatic erosion in public confidence in the justice system and America’s promise of equal treatment under the law especially in minority communities.

MacCarthy on Impeachment: How to Find and Use These Weapons of Mass Destruction Terence F. MacCarthy, Sean P. MacCarthy, Hon. Terence F. MacCarthy 2016, Paperback, 192 pages, 6 x 9
While there are many books on evidence and trial advocacy, there is very little written specifically on impeachment. For the trial lawyer and judge, it is one of the most confusing and misunderstood parts of the trial. Just as cross examination is the most difficult of trial skills, impeachment, usually a part of cross examination, is the most difficult of the difficult. Many, if not most, trial lawyers do not know what they can or cannot do to impeach. Most importantly, they do not know how to do what they can do. MacCarthy on Impeachment offers trial lawyers “weapons of mass destruction.” This book reveals those “weapons” and offers instruction on how to use them. Co-written by the author of the legal classic, MacCarthy on Cross-Examination, this book is a groundbreaking work that will become an indispensable resource for trial attorneys seeking to improve their skills and better serve their clients.

Richard Rogers, Eric Drogin 2014, Paperback, 299 pages, 7 x 10
Written to serve both defense and prosecution perspectives, this book provides both sides with the most effective tools for identifying and weighing Miranda issues, obtaining appropriate scientific expertise, and understanding the psychological and legal issues affecting admissibility. The analyses are structured explicitly by the objectives of the defense (motion to suppress) and the prosecution (admissibility). This indispensable resource explains what you need to know about Miranda-related issues to defend or prosecute these cases effectively; how to establish a successful working relationship with forensic mental health experts, and learn to counter the assertions of the opposing side’s experts; and understand how to present arguments and supporting evidence to challenge or preserve a Mirandized statement. Each chapter is organized into logically sequenced sections to help you master technical concepts without drowning in technical jargon.

The 116: The True Story of Abraham Lincoln’s Lost Guard James P. Muehlberger
2015, Hardcover, 437 pages, 6 x 9
The 116 paints a provocative portrait of the ‘civil war’ between Free-State and Pro-Slavery forces that tore Missouri and the Kansas Territory apart in the 1850s, and provides a vivid portrayal of the battles pertaining to the protection and abolition of slavery that riled Congress on both a federal and state level, eventually leading to the eruption of war in 1861. “In this meticulous, ground-breaking account of the gallant 116 men who helped protect Washington during the first tense days of the Civil War, James Muehlberger demonstrates how much new can be said about Lincoln by historians who conduct thorough research in neglected primary sources. Told with dramatic verve, the story of the Frontier Guards explains why the vastly relieved Lincoln was justified when he thanked the Kansans, saying that ‘language was incapable of expressing how great an obligation he and the people all over this country are under to this little band of patriotic men….’” —Michael Burlingame, author of Abraham Lincoln: A Life

Secret Justice tells the story of a new Supreme Court justice who must cast the deciding vote in a case that, in its moral implications, mirrors the justice’s own deepest secret. It is, first and foremost, a novel of ideas, a legal thriller that derives its page-turning tension not from chase scenes or other action set pieces, but rather from the moral decisions and debates the central character, Justice Richard Davenport, puts himself through as he considers two cases—one involving assisted suicide and a terminal patient’s right to die, the other involving a severely disabled patient’s ability to make a decision whether or not to donate a kidney to his dying identical twin brother and whether the state has a right to force the decision on him. Both of these cases deeply affect Justice Davenport as they touch upon a family secret that threatens to expose him to his enemies in the Senate and on the Supreme Court (not to mention the White House) and alter the court of Davenport’s career forever. Secret Justice is written by Paul Goldstein, a law professor at Stanford. His most recent novel, Havana Requiem, won the 2013 Harper Lee Prize for Best Legal Fiction. Published by Ankerwycke Books

Anatomy of a Confession: The Debra Milke Case Gary L. Stuart
2016, Paperback, 468 pages, 6 x 9
“A well-written analysis that rivals Netflix’s hit series Making a Murderer. Mr. Stuart’s analysis demonstrates that there are no winners in this story unless participants in the criminal justice system learn from it. A work well done.” —Mike Piccaretta, Past President, Arizona State Bar Association; Fellow, American College of Trial Lawyers; Fellow, International Academy of Trial Lawyers Product Code: 1620700 List Price: $27.95 ABA Members: $22.95
Anatomy of a Confession is the story of a 1990 murder trial. Two men murdered a four year-old boy. One of them casually implicated the boy’s mother. Even before she was questioned, the police hung a guilty tag on her. The prosecutor believed it because the police did. The judge let the jury hear her confession, but not vital exculpatory evidence. The jury believed she did it because the cop was so convincing and the mother so unmotherly. That label came from her own family. No one in her courtroom presumed her innocence—not the cops, prosecutors, jurors, judge, or her own lawyer. America’s most vaunted legal principle—the presumption of innocence—was nowhere to be found. Published by Ankerwycke Books

Adam regrets leaving his lucrative corporate law firm for the wilds of academia, until he finds an ally in the brilliant and fetching Laura Stapleton, a colleague with her own troubling secrets.
