#ItTakesAllKinds #WithLawyer Still on my TBR. Darrow left the relatively normal career as a railroad lawyer to defend people most at the time would consider undesirables . Most would have heard of him as the lawyer defending John Scopes , the infamous monkey trial , about the teaching of evolution.
❤️ Hugs from my daughter. Chocolate is also nice 🍫
❤️ ❤️ tagged. This trilogy has both platonic and romantic love.

pickIngrid Yung is determined to make partner at the Manhattan law firm she‘s been working at for the last 8 years. She‘s a whip-smart and meticulous Harvard grad - her parents and her culture have the highest expectations for her as an Asian woman. But things don‘t work out exactly as Ingrid had expected…
Great narrator. This might be a Netflix series…

pickGideon's Trumpet is about the Supreme Court case that guarantees legal counsel to those on trial for felonies, regardless of their ability to pay. I am a former public defender & loved reading the procedural history, summaries of briefs, selections from oral argument. Book is extremely dated and only uses masculine pronouns for attorneys, clerks, etc., despite the presence of women in the profession at the time of publication.
pickYou know the story already - Clarence Thomas nominated to the Supreme Court, Anita Hill reluctantly testifying to Thomas‘ harassment of her, the pubic hair on the Coke can, the character assassination, the 52-48 vote to confirm. This book gets into the nitty gritty of Thomas, Hill and the Senate Hearings. Spoiler alert: there is only one hero here, a reluctant one at that. She kept her head up while the rest were varying degrees of slime.
