If you like courtroom drama, these cases read like finely-crafted short stories, each laid out to create tension and capture the reader. This is Mr. Katz's autobiographical anthology of court cases he selected from a legal career that spanned forty-plus years. He was an assistant district attorney, a public defender, an insurance defense attorney, and a civil plaintive in Louisiana state and federal courts and in state courts in Colorado. Entwined in these actual jury trials, the author freely describes his personal impressions, comparisons, and criticisms about the advantages and disadvantages of how each legal system worked or failed to deliver "justice" since justice wasn't always the goal. He removes the gloves and exposes the underbelly of systems that were never perfect and move, in his opinion, in the wrong direction from the Supreme Court on down. The stories provide entertainment to the casual reader and instruction to students of law who aspire to be advocates in the court room. The cases provide examples of how to look at the facts deeply, realistically, and most importantly, from the points of view of the actors.

Autorenporträt
Paul Katz lives with his 165 pound dog Gumbo on the northwest side of Boulder Colorado near the mountains. He retired from the active practice of law in December of 2019 but maintains his license just in case. He began his career in the law doing criminal jury trials working for the District Attorney in New Orleans. His first eight years of practice were all criminal law working later for the New Orleans Public Defender's office and then returning to prosecution in the district attorney's office in Chalmette, Louisiana just south of New Orleans. During those years he tried over 200 criminal jury trials. >He is a frequent traveler having visited over 120 countries, at least once, some as many as five times and like Peru, Nepal, Thailand, and India.
