Review
"The mark of good literature is that it serves to teach and to delight. The Devil's Advocates does both, and it also inspires." - The Federal Lawyer
"Some of the cases are famous, some are infamous, and some are obscure, but all are revealing page-turners...A readable and fascinating book. - Library Journal
"An unexpectedly gripping read. Lief and Caldwell have a gift for cracking a case open and making potentially dry details vivid...[The book] emerges as an unusual and informative legal history, offering clear views into earlier eras of legal thought and practice." - The American Lawyer

But the eight cases in this collection have also set historical precedents and illuminated underlying principles of the American criminal justice system." Included in the eight landmark cases are those that addressed, among others, the right to sanctuary, the guarantee to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, the suspect's right to counsel, the right to be free from self-incrimination, construction of the Miranda standard, the concept of self-defense, the concept of temporary insanity as a defense in criminal trials, workable standards to define treason.
