Book Reviews of A Lawyer's Life
Book Review: Johnnie Cochran - A Life Lived Well And A Life That Mattered
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed reading this book and it was interesting to find out what the Los Angeles civil and criminal court systems were like in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
At times, Johnnie Cochran engages in moments of self-puffery, but he's earned the right to gloat as he writes about a life lived to the fullest. He found a life's work that mattered greatly to him, and it also made him rich, and he makes no apologies for it.
Cochran, with the help of a co-author, writes openly and honestly about a Los Angeles that was - and still is today - heavily defined by race and social class. To his credit, he goes light on the OJ and instead focuses on the more significant cases in his career, of which the OJ Simpson defense was one of the least important, even though that is the one case for which he will always be remembered.
I highly recommend this book.
