I Struggle With Racism Every Day

Nobody Wants To Read About The Honest Lawyer Down The Street Who Does Real Estate Loans And Wills. If You Want To Sell Books, You Have To Write About The Interesting Lawyers - The Guys Who Steal All The Money And Take Off. That's The Fun Stuff.

I Give Off Rather Mixed Messages About The Law. On The One Hand, I Can Honestly Say I Don't Miss Working In A Law Office. On The Other Hand I Do Enjoy Watching The Law And While The Profession May Have Its Problems, I Have Sold Zillions Of Books Out Of Magnifying Them.

More Than 100 People Have Been Sent To Death Row Who Were Later Exonerated Because They Weren't Guilty Or Fairly Tried. Most Criminal Defendants Do Not Get Adequate Representation Because There Are Not Enough Public Defenders To Represent Them. There Is A Lot That Is Wrong.

She Was Pondering The Option Of Law School, The Great American Baby-sitter For Directionless Postgrads.

I've Sold Too Many Books To Get Good Reviews Anymore. There's A Lot Of Jealousy, Because [reviewers] Think They Can Write A Good Novel Or A Best-seller And Get Frustrated When They Can't. I've Learned To Despise Them.
