Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-18 00:00:00 William Golden Everything about this book is not easy to grasp. When one reads it you feel like you are in a law lecture. Of course, you will learn a lot, and that is all there is learning. If and when you decide to read this book, please do not expect a great story because it is not. I said everything about the book is hard for an average mind. Now let me explain:- The author's name and title of the book. Of course, Alan Morton Dershowitz is a household name in America and as easily, around the world. From O. J. Simpson's case, to Harvard, and most of all in the Federal Supreme Court of the united States. Still, his name is not very easy for us to pronounce. The title of the book. What does it even mean? That is just like Dershowitz, making even the simplest sound very difficult. "The Advocate's Devil" and not "The Devil's Advocate". I know, it is not very interesting. You must be into Dershowitz to be amused. I will let you figure that one out for yourself. The theme. Jurisprudence! Jurisprudence! Jurisprudence! We get to learn about some of the most interesting court decisions. Moreover, we get to be with Abe as he traverses and searches what is relevant and important to free his client who is being accused of rape. Should tge truth be disclosed? Does the defence advocate has an obligation to disclose everything that he knows to the court? What about his duty of confidentiality to his client? How does one balance the two sides? The answers. They come in form of parables which are not easy to understand. Haskel is the one Abe goes to for answers. He is an old consevative attorney who suffers from Alzheimer. He uses talmudic wisdom to reconcile the various ethical dilemas which his friend faces from time to time during the trial. It is this unconventional method of solving problems that gets the work done.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-04 00:00:00 Joby Mathews Timely , because it deals with rape , and judicial ethics . Written in 1994 , so technology references are way dated , but still is highly readable and edgy . I think I may try one of his non-fictions too .
