1. Law Man
A candid memoir tracing the author’s journey from committing a bank robbery and serving years in federal prison to teaching himself the law in the prison library, using that knowledge to help other inmates with appeals, and ultimately rebuilding his life by attending law school and becoming a practicing attorney and advocate; along the way he reflects on personal responsibility, redemption, and the flaws and human costs of the U.S. criminal-justice system while arguing for reform.
