Hardback, 1st US edn. The biography of a Brooklyn lawyer, Jack Eversoff, in the courts everyday handling everything from misdemeanors to murder. He has represented both the scum of the streets and the overlords of the underworld. He has tried both grisly murders and "clean" white-collar crimes. He has defended both police-killers and killer-police. Occasionally his cases get noticed by the newspapers - such as his successful defence of Thomas Shea, a New York City policeman on trial for shooting a 10yr. old to death. With Notes. 247pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in protected Vg. dw.
