Reviews
- Mandy Twaddell with The Providence Journal stated, "Why call this book rare and valuable? It bolsters confidence in our court system. Not withstanding the Rosenberg case, Zirin asserts: “It is generally acknowledged to be the best in the justice business.”"[4]
- Jonathan Mance with The Times titled his review, "A witty portrayal of a US court and the principled practice of law by a trial lawyer with talents beyond the courtroom". He further said, "James Zirin is a trial lawyer — on the evidence and in my experience a gifted one, with talents not confined to the courtroom."[5]
- David J. Dickson inThe Journal: of the Law Society of Scotland wrote, "In this readable and revealing book, James Zirin, a former assistant United States attorney at the court, recounts with wit and a sharp, shrewd eye, some of the most memorable cases heard before the court, before some of the United States' most celebrated judges."[6]
