The Final Volume in a Must-Have Trilogy of the Best Closing Arguments in American Legal History In The Devil's Advocates, Michael S. Lief and H. Mitchell Caldwell turn to the dramatic crimes and trials of criminal law. The eight famous cases in this riveting collection have set historical precedents and illuminated fundamentals of the American criminal justice system. Future president John Adams illustrates the principle that even the most despised and vilified criminal is entitled to a legal defense in the argument he delivers on behalf of the British soldiers who shot and killed five Americans during the Boston Massacre. Clarence Darrow provides a ringing defense of a black family charged with using deadly force after defending themselves from a violent mob - an argument that refines the concept of self-defense. And perhaps the best-known case is that of Ernesto Miranda, the accused rapist whose trial led to the critically important Miranda decision, which underpins procedure at every criminal arrest. Each case presented is given legal and cultural context, including a brief historical introduction, biographical sketches of the attorneys involved, highlights of trial testimony, analysis of the closing arguments and a summary of the trial's impact on its participants and our country. In clear, jargon-free prose, the authors make these pivotal cases come to vibrant life for every reader.

Stretchy Comfort
Size: 34W x 30L, Color: Dark Blue
Jeans were as described and quite stretchy which makes for a good fit. The size was as described. The quality was as good as the Big Box Stores for less money. The material is thinner than traditional western style baggy jeans but should still wear well. Nice traditional blue jeans color.

Fit and color with affordability
Bought for my dad after he lost weight. He is 88 and they run true to size with stretch for him to put on by himself. Very satisfied with color and fit. They are not heavy like normal jeans which is a plus for our situation
