My Life As a Radical Lawyer by William M. Kunstler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A personal story:
When I was going to one of my colleges I drove a yellow Volkswagen super beetle. You may be aware that older cars get pulled over more often. I can attest to this. As soon as I started driving a new car I was never pulled over – no change in driving habits.
Yes, I bought this book – and I read it. But it was far more useful than that.
After I read it I kept it on the back seat of my yellow Volkswagen super beetle. Next to a thick spiral notebook and a copy of the book “100 cases against law enforcement.”
Thereafter, whenever I was pulled over, and the police did their “shine a light in the car before talking to the driver” bit, they saw these books.
Then they would thank me and let me go. Never a word of warning.
I would like to thank William Kunstler for inadvertently saving me from various unpleasant interactions.
Also, if you’re interested in radical lawyering, you could do worse than give it a read.
