"Inner Workings of "The Man"" according to Mark Ledbetter. This is a remarkable book, but not because it is tightly written and well organized. It is not those things. It's personal and opinionated. There's some extraneous name-dropping. It could certainly use an editor's eye to catch those little things that authors miss when reading their own stuff. It meanders.But in the midst of the meandering you stumble on bright pearls of philosophy and economics. And you get an insiders perspective - a rebel insider's perspective - on the realities of the legal system and its tight relationship with crony capitalism. You get some advice on how court cases are really won and lost.That's all nice, . crusader in a crooked city I have lived in Chicago, all mly life, except for my farm in Michigan, married to an attorney, with a family full of attorneys, I am used to the system. Sheldon, is the unique person, I;m not saying everything he does makes sense, but he is the unique attorney who had a conscience and cared about people, he genuinely wanted to help him, his bottom line was not the dollar he would make, but more like a crusader in a crooked city would be the way I would label him dana mcgeeI am including my review and I have read Sheldon Waxman's book, grown up in Holland,Mi. my small town experience with attorneys is very different than the big C.

There is a lot of information about court proceedings and the hanky panky within the whole court system. This is a great primer as to the way things work or do not work. Read it in small bites because there is a lot to digest.

There is a lot of humor in this book besides much sadness over the status of our government and its malicious sisterhood with Big Government and crooked politicians and judges. But he does have buffalo skinned cowboy hat. Do something. Waxman was also responsible for the Independent Contractor Safe Harbor Test that protects people who use independent contractors. 30 Boxes of Waxman's papers were donated to the University of Kansas' Spencer Research Library in Lawrence, KS.. He is a poh ass country hick. Buy this book so you understand what you are fighting. Known as the USA but really shoud be the USA of Fascism--soon to have a dictator and then legally called Nazism. He doesn't have Gerry Spencer's commanding presence, nor does he have cowboy boots. Unlike those lawyers who charge $400 per hour. Memoir of a Freedom Lawyer, who thought more about his client; ins
