About This Item
NY: Parthenon Books / Random House. Fine in As New dust jacket. 2005. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0375421130 . Includes Index. In a society ever more obsessed with legal drama, David Boies, the star of a thousand press conferences, stands head and shoulders above the rest. The most prominent trial lawyer in the United States, Boies was catapulted to international prominence when he represented Al Gore before the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore, in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election. But well before the word chad entered our lexicon, Boies had participated in a string of headline-making cases, representing the Justice Department against Microsoft, CBS against General Westmoreland, and Napster against the recording industry. Brash, reckless, and prideful, he is also charming, charismatic, unerringly articulate in the courtroom, and supremely comfortable in the public eye. He is the epitome of the celebrity attorney and a peerless practitioner of the art of law. Legal journalist Karen Donovan, herself a lawyer, had unprecedented access to Boies for nearly two years, accompanying him on his high-profile cases and recording the workings of his brilliant yet erratic mind. She gives us a scintillating chronicle of the legal dramas in which Boies has played a crucial role. And drawing on extensive interviews with his former colleagues, she provides insightful analyses of his strategies, his skills, his effectiveness, his penchant for personal renown, and his flaws. The story of a singularly gifted lawyerhis ambition, judgment, and sense of justicev. Goliath is also an illuminating examination of a profession that, increasingly, confuses ideals and celebrity.. Aside from a very few corners turned-dow and now righted, both the volume and the unclipped ($26.95) dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unmarked, tight, square, and clean. FINE/AS NEW. . Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. xiii, 367, (1) pp .
