Undefined book cover
Undefined
More than the Sum of my Losses
Michelle Graham, Sarah Syms - 2020-10-04
Рейтинг Goodreads
Undefined is an inspiring Christian book that tells the true story of a birth mom's courage in the face of overwhelming tragedy. She overcomes the ostracization of teen pregnancy, the struggles of pregnancy and the separation involved in adoption through holding onto her faith. Each chapter addresses different aspects of the pregnancy and the aftermath of Christian adoption, from tumultuous family relationships to finding the strength to turn away from those who were shaming her. This story empowers women and speaks of the goodness of God. If you're dealing with complexities in your family or considering Christian adoption, this book is perfect for you.

Servants of the Damned book cover
Servants of the Damned
Giant Law Firms, Donald Trump, and the Corruption of Justice
David Enrich - 2022-09-13
Рейтинг Goodreads
"Servants of the Damned" exposes the shadowy power wielded by the world's largest law firms, using Jones Day, the firm that represented the Trump campaign and much of the Fortune 500, as an encapsulation of recent changes in the legal industry. Written by the New York Times's Business Investigations Editor and #1 bestselling author of Dark Towers, David Enrich, this gripping narrative nonfiction delves into the unchecked influence law firms have in shielding the wealthy and powerful, while earning billions in revenue for themselves. Enrich reveals how Jones Day has enabled and protected powerful bad actors, including Big Tobacco, the Catholic Church, and Russian oligarchs, and how the firm laid the legal groundwork for Trump to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election. This long-overdue exposé is a must-read for those interested in the inner workings of "Big Law."

Impeach book cover
Impeach
The Case Against Donald Trump
Neal Katyal - 2019-11-26
Рейтинг Goodreads
In "Impeach," Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argues that President Trump's repeated requests for foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 election threaten the very foundations of democracy. Katyal maintains that impeachment is the last resort left to hold the President accountable for these actions, and one that our Constitution demands. If we fail to act, we risk compromising the core values that make America what it is.

@wrightbett1 @JoyAnnReid We all need it! I’ve found that a great start is Professor @tribelaw’s book How to End a Presidency. The early section in the founding fathers’ debates on the issue is fascinating reading.      источник

This book provides an important overview of the way our justice system works and why the rule of law is essential.

The book is divided into four sections: Inquiry, Accusation, Judgment, and Punishment. Bharara uses anecdotes from his legal career to illustrate the realities of the legal system and the consequences of taking action. Ultimately, this is a thought-provoking and entertaining book about finding humanity in our legal system and our society.
