Four Trials

In this courtroom memoir, Senator John Edwards, who was a lawyer for two decades, recalls, in some depth, four emblematic cases that reflect his passion for the law and his commitment to speaking up for the common man. One of them, his first malpractice case, took place when he was very new to the profession. All of the cases show that people have a great deal at stake in trials, and that justice sometimes does prevail. These trials also made Edwards grow considerably as a person. Along with recounting his experiences in court, Edwards shares stories from his personal life, including the untimely death of his cherished son, Wade. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
