Scenes from a Criminal Lawyer’s Notebook: Cases You Can’t Make Up

Gregg Nacleriospent his life in a courtroom—sometimes prosecuting, sometime defending, always keeping a sharp eye on the all-too-human human beings he shared a legal system with. His second book about his legal career, Scenes from a Criminal Lawyer’s Notebook, is filled with compassion for the innocent (or nearly innocent) people caught up in the legal system and utter contempt for the rascals and scoundrels who deserve everything they get.
Naclerio’s stories of “cases you can’t make up” invite readers into his world, and he proves to be the perfect tour guide. The stories are funny or ironic or outrageous—sometimes all those things as once. Enjoy your visit!
