A Fantastic Eye-Opening Book that Would Benefit Anyone to Read

This is a fantastic in-depth book covering the ins and outs of media law. From "Fair Trial-Free Press Conflicts" to `Closed Courtrooms", `Gag Orders on the Media" it really shows the ins and outs about the media and the law, along with how the public can in essence become the jury in a sensational, high profile case. An interesting, albeit a bit unsettling truth is in this book, I would like to quote comes from page 271: "Even Alan Dershowitz, a prominent law professor who was a member of Simpson's `dream team' of defense attorneys, defended the role of the "dream team" in his book (Reasonable Doubts) by saying: A criminal trial is anything but a pure search for truth. When defense attorneys represent guilty clients-as most do, most of the time-their responsibility is to try, by all fair and ethical means, to PREVENT [ my caps italic in the book] the truth about their client's guilt from emerging. Failure to do so...is malpractice." If you have any interest in fair law, truth, the role and restrictions on the media, and how it all plays out, this book is really a fantastic resource. There is probably an updated edition, however this is the one I have read from cover to cover when it first came out in 2001, and really learned a lot!
