Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change

This is a really magnificent, intelligent, insightful book by Michael Tigar, and the best description I have ever read of how the legal process works and what it actually means, in language that is accessible, brilliant and profound. It is simultaneously clear and deep, told by a master storyteller about people and events that have touched all of us, with a behind-the-scenes intimate knowledge of what happened, a professional legal scholar's grasp of legal principles and subtleties, in language we can all understand. Tigar, for all his immense knowledge and experience in the law, never pontificates or talks down to the reader, and never shies away from addressing complex, difficult, and controversial topics. I loved reading it, and recommend it highly.
