Mitchell D. Kessler shares the true "war stories" of a working trial lawyer—from surviving law school moot court and a brutal apprenticeship under a genius personal-injury attorney, to fighting Three Mile Island and DES cases, to the terrifying solo trial that made his own practice. Written for laypeople, it explains courtroom drama in plain language while defending the plaintiffs' bar and the sacred right to a jury trial. A candid, engaging look at the everyday lawyers whose battles shape ordinary lives.

  • Real courtroom "war stories" for readers who devour Grisham but want the truth
  • An underdog lawyer's improbable trial victories against powerful, well-funded adversaries
  • A behind-the-scenes look at how jury selection, depositions, and trials actually work
  • The high-stakes solo trial of a dead, legally drunk client that launched a career

Perfect for a reader who loves John Grisham novels or courtroom dramas and wants the true, human story of what an everyday trial lawyer actually does.
