Gore 1997-2000, by David Boies (read 6 Aug 2023) An entrancing account by a lawyer who not overly modestly tells of the cases he has been concerned with, usually very successfully. ( ) Courting Justice: From NY Yankees v. Major League Baseball to Bush v. Gore 1997-2000, by David Boies (read 11 Nov 2004) A common encomium on a good book is 'I did not want it to end.' This is seldom true, since I like to finish a book so I can go to a new one, but this book is indeed one I did not want to end. I was entranced and awed by this most excellent book, which tells of the big cases Boies has handled in just the four years from 1997 to 2000. He is a master lawyer and while he of course portrays himself in a most favorable light, the results he has obtained show he is a great lawyer. This whole book is an unmitigated success, and I enjoyed every page. The big league law he practices is pretty foreign to me and I was awed by how he could do these big cases and still go on vacations of weeks at a time. This book was an unmitigatedly good experience, and I am so grateful to my good friend from law school days for calling it to my attention. no reviews | add a review
Boies traces the intricacies of numerous cases, such as Bush v. Gore in the hotly contested 2000 Florida recount, Steinbrenner's action against Major League Baseball, and the U.S. Government's antitrust litigation against Microsoft. At the same time he sheds light on the legal profession itself, exploring the politics of the profession and the power plays endemic to it. As though presenting his cases to a jury, Boies lays out the framework and issues of each case in a patient, step-by-step manner that illuminates the nature of the litigation and Boies's strategy while also supporting the narrative arc of the story he's trying to tell.--amazon.com.
