Radical lawyer Stephen Saltonstall brings readers into the world of criminal defense by recounting narratives of his cases, including a successful attack on a Massachusetts death penalty statute, appeals of two notorious homicide cases (a serial murderer and a cop-killer), an effort to save the life of a little boy whose parents refused to give him the medical treatment he needed for acute lymphocytic leukemia, free speech cases for students and an environmentalist carpenter, litigation to save critical black bear and neotropical migratory songbird habitat from U.S. Forest Service clearcutting, and more. In a system biased against the public interest and the underprivileged, Saltonstall gives people a model for practicing values-based law"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Saltonstall, Stephen Lee. 650 0 $a Criminal defense lawyers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Defense (Criminal procedure) $z United States. 650 7 $a Criminal defense lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01893379 650 7 $a Defense (Criminal procedure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889602 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 700 1 $a Meltsner, Michael, $d 1937- $e Writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230217010251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D697C322AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
