<p>Something along the lines of "Gideon's Trumpet". Something that will remind me why I wanted to be a lawyer in the first place. I'm tired of hearing the profession being tarnished left and right. Anyways, what're some good books?
I've read Gideon's trumpet (extremely enlightening) and "To Kill a Mockingbird". Both are excellent. I prefer something based in reality though with SOME introduction to basic law principles like Gideon's. Thanks!</p>
<p>Start with "A Civil Action," by Jonathan Harr. It reads like a novel, but it's non-fiction. (It's a bit discouraging at times, but try not to be too discouraged.) </p>
<p>Scott Turow's novels are well written, and very accurate in terms of the law.</p>
<p>I read a book once called "The Million Dollar Lawyers" that was reasonably interesting, though I'm not sure it's still in print.</p>
