Sensing Injustice : A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change Paperback / softback
by Michael E. Tigar
Paperback / softback
Description
By the time he was 26, Michael Tigar was a legend in legal circles well before he would take on some of the highest profile cases of his generation.
In his first U.S. Supreme Court case — at the age of 28 — Tigar won a unanimous victory that freed thousands of Vietnam War resisters from prison.
Tigar also led the legal team that secured a judgment against the Pinochet regime for the 1976 murders of Pinochet opponent Orlando Letelier and his colleague Ronni Moffitt in a Washington, DC car bombing.
He then worked with the lawyers who prosecuted Pinochet for torture and genocide.
A relentless fighter of injustice – not only as a human rights lawyer, but also as a teacher, scholar, journalist, playwright, and comrade – Tigar has been counsel to Angela Davis, Jamil Abdullah AlAmin (H.
Rap Brown), the Chicago Eight, and leaders of the Black Panther Party, to name only a few.
It is past time that Michael Tigar wrote his memoir. Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change is a vibrant literary and legal feat.
In it, Tigar weaves powerful legal analysis and wry observation through the story of his remarkable life.
The result is a compelling narrative that blends law, history, and progressive politics.
This is essential reading for lawyers, for law students, for anyone who aspires to bend the law toward change.
