Raves
for The Shadow of Justice "Miami
is to criminal law what Oz was to Dorothy and Toto.
From the glitter to the grit, nobody knows the
place better than Milt Hirsch, and it all shines
through in The Shadow of Justice." --
Carl
Hiaasen, author of Sick Puppy and Basket
Case "Shadow
of Justice is great stuff-a page-turner of a
murder mystery, and a wickedly funny send-up of the
justice system's failings. If you love a good
trial, a good laugh, or just a plain good read,
look no further than Hirsch's wonderful tale of
Miami lawyers at their best (and worst)." --
Barry
Scheck, Professor of Law, Cardozo Law
School/Yeshiva University, and co-author of
Actual Innocence: When Justice Goes Wrong and
How to Make it Right |

Awakened one morning and informed that one of his oldest friends has shot and killed his family and himself, Judge Addison has little time to react. Soon after, he is on the bench, facing another of his oldest friends, Jack Sheridan, now a defense attorney trying a case in Addison's court. Over the course of the next week, Addison describes his trial and, in flashbacks, traces his intertwined relationships in a search for meaning, a search for truth, and a search for justice. This novel is the first in a series, "Great Stories by Great Lawyers," to be published by the ABA. The series will feature new novels by the people who know best how the legal system really works: practicing lawyers and judges. About the Author - Milton Hirsch

The American Bar Association is the world's largest professional membership association, with over 400,000 members, and represents the more than a million attorneys practicing law in the U.S. today. ABA Publishing, the publishing arm of the ABA, publishes approximately 100 new titles each year, primarily practical legal handbooks useful to practicing attorneys and judges. The Criminal Justice Section of the ABA (CJS) has over 9,000 members, including prosecutors, private defense counsel, appellate and trial judges, law professors, correctional and law enforcement personnel, law students, public defenders, and other criminal justice professionals. The CJS takes primary responsibility for the ABA's work on solutions to issues involving crime, criminal law, and the administration of criminal and juvenile justice. The CJS plays an active leadership role in bringing the views of the ABA to the attention of federal and state courts, Congress, and other federal and state judicial, legislative, and executive policy-making bodies. The CJS also serves as a resource to its members on issues in the forefront of change in the criminal justice arena. The CJS primarily produces practical handbooks for practicing criminal attorneys, but with The Shadow of Justice, it inaugurates its fiction series, "Great Stories by Great Lawyers." This series is intended to further the mission of educating the public about the inner workings of the country's criminal justice system.
