In The Protection Is Ready, Leslie Abramson, the excellent and outspoken security attorney, takes you inside today's courtroom for a stunning firsthand profile of how the courage and timidity, intelligence and folly, selflessness and venality of real attorneys, judges, victims and defendants are interwoven into the complex fabric of our often frustrating criminal justice system. After graduating form UCLA Regulation College, Abramsom, as a young single mother, commenced her powerful courtroom training and excellent career on leading lines of the legal system in the Los Angeles Community Defender's office. Her journey from willing young rules clerk to 1 of the country's premier homicide attorneys involved some of the most difficult and notorious criminal cases of the previous 2 decades - most notably the group of disturbing and thought-provoking studies where she undertook the security of abused children in the end driven to get rid of their tormentors. Most celebrated among they were the two death-penalty murder studies where she represented Erik Menendez, who, together with his brother Lyle, killed his parents after many years of sexual and psychological abuse. A candid and daring memoir, The Protection Is Ready is a robust argument for a fresh and humane view of our beleaguered criminal justice system.
