Description

Malice Aforethought is a behind-the-scenes look at American attorneys who are poisoning the American legal system: how and why they do it and how they cover it up. Marston contends that in the rare instances attorneys are caught breaking the law, they receive a slap on the wrist; they are almost never disbarred.
