Synopsis: Rough Justice [mass_market] Heilbroner, David [Aug 03, 1991]

From Library Journal: Heilbroner has written a thoroughly engrossing, often very funny, and always thought-provoking account of his three years as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. He began as a naive young lawyer writing up misdemeanor reports (his first encounter with a "token sucker" is a highlight) and worked his way through many different divisions, ultimately dealing with almost every type of crime. Eventually, he began to question his role and that of the criminal justice system itself, where justice is often subservient to concerns such as overburdened prisons and courtroom dockets. This should be required reading for all persons interested in law and crime, both for Heilbroner's inside look at all aspects of prosecution, from arraignment to trial and after, as well as his keen observations of what must be done to improve the system.
