Mickey Sherman, Unplugged
With his regular gigs on several news networks, it’s easy to forget that talking legal head Mickey Sherman actually practices law for a living—his office is in Stamford, Conn.
And it’s his experience in the courtroom, defending real people accused of real crimes, that makes his first foray into nonfiction—a memoir called How Can You Defend Those People?—a worthwhile read for lawyers. One chapter alone makes the book worth the purchase price, with comments from noted criminal defense lawyers like Roy Black and Dick DeGuerin on what type of criminal even they won’t defend.
