 Barnes & Noble.com - In the Shadow of the Law - Kermit Roosevelt - Hardcover

And because Roosevelt, who now teaches at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, was once a Supreme Court clerk and a practicing attorney in Washington, and because he focuses on a big, powerful, supremely avaricious K Street law firm, this book could arouse more than passing interest among local lawyers.
Roosevelt, who practiced and teaches law and who once clerked for Justice Souter, offers a fascinating insider's look into the culture of a high-stakes firm, while also presenting a considered meditation on the law itself and its potential to compromise those driven to practice it.
