The Notable Trials Library, 1992. (illustrator). The Notable Trials Library, 1992. Bryson, John. Evil Angels. New York: Summit Books, [1985]. 560 pp. Introduction by Alan M. Dershowitz. Reprinted The Notable Trials Library, [1992]. Quarter-calf, gilt, raised bands, marbled endpapers, edges gilt, ribbon marker. Internally clean. A fine copy. $15. * The dramatic true story of a mother's worst nightmare and the murder trial that shocked Australia. On a camping trip at Ayer's Rock, the Chamberlain family's infant daughter disappeared in the middle of the night. Her distraught mother, Lindy, claimed she saw a dingo carry her off into the Australian outback. Two years later, their tragedy worsened when, without a murder weapon, a body, or even a motive, a jury convicted Lindy Chamberlain of killing her own daughter. The public cheered. John Bryson, a trial lawyer and award-winning journalist, deconstructs the factors that led to a seemingly reasonless incarceration and the public attitude that demanded it. With this book, he began to sway popular opinion in the Chamberlains' favor by discussing the failures on the part of the police, forensics team, and press. (Librarything).

The Notable Trials Library, 1996. (illustrator). The Notable Trials Library, 1996. Polenberg, Richard. Fighting Faiths: The Abrams Case, the Supreme Court, and Free Speech. Viking Penguin Inc., [1987]. xiv, 431 pp. With New Introduction by Alan M.Dershowitz. Reprinted The Notable Trials Library, 1996. Quarter calf over cloth, decorative gilt stamping, raised bands, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers, ribbon marker. Water stain to bottom text block edge, otherwise internally clean. A fine copy. $15. * Jacob Abrams et al. v. United States is the landmark Supreme Court case in the definition of free speech. Although the 1918 conviction of four Russian Jewish anarchists-for distributing leaflets protesting America's intervention in the Russian revolution-was upheld, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes's dissenting opinion (with Justice Louis Brandeis) concerning "clear and present danger" has proved the touchstone of almost all subsequent First Amendment theory and litigation. In Fighting Faiths, Richard Polenberg explores the causes and characters of this dramatic episode in American history. He traces the Jewish immigrant experience, the lives of the convicted anarchists before and after the trials, the careers of the major players in the court cases-men such as Holmes, defense attorney Harry Weinberger, Southern Judge Henry DeLamar Clayton, Jr., and the young J. Edgar Hoover-and the effects of this important case on present-day First Amendment rights. (Amazon).
