Richard Zitrin has been at the forefront for representing those who cannot fight the system. Most of these people are minorities usually poor and face a justice system that is not fair. Trial Lawyer: A Life Representing People Against Power is a book about just that. He tells you about one of the most brutal cases he had to defend with the San Quentin 6, all the way down to a case against Chrysler.
This book has truly changed my life. Knowing that in this world of unfairness, there are people out there trying their best to make things as equal as possible.
