The Devil’s Advocates: Greatest Closing Arguments in Criminal Law, by
Michael S. Lief and H. Mitchell Caldwell, reviewed by Trish Burns, Library Director
Scribner, 2006, $28.00,436 pages
Covering eight landmark cases tried in American courts, the authors present what they feel are the greatest closing arguments in criminal law. Written in a very readable form, the authors give the history of the event leading up to the trial, a summary of the trial, the closing argument and the impact the trial had on its participants and on the country’s legal system. The reader comes away with both a good sense of what makes a fine closing argument, as well as a pertinent history lesson.
