Louis Nizer in Court

Louis Nizer in two words, "Great Writer." Louis Nizers' book, My Life In Court is interesting if your going in the field of law. This book is a little lengthy, but it is worth it. Louis Nizer goes into some detail about some of the famous court case he handled while in his life time in court. After reading this book I beleive that Nizer loved what he did, but he would also stress out of his clients, because they didn't tell him the whole truth in the beginning. That reminds me of a lot of famous court cases that I have heard or seen about on the news(O.J. Simpson case). I didn't realize the kind of things that one can take one to court over. In the book Nizer talks about a court case he took on about this man that had a thing for his wives feet, rather than being intiment with his wife. She ended up taking her husband to court for a divorce for the things he made her do for him. The beginning of the book didn't catch my attention. But when I got into chapters 2 & 3, the book started to get pretty interesting. I recommend this book to people that are pursuing a law degree or something along a law degree line. One will learn things about the court that one can learn in school, but only by experience or from another lawyer telling another lawyer. Even if one is not going for a law degree I still recommend this book. I give it 4 stars.
