From the outside, the prosecution's case looked bulletproof, but Marcia Clark knew better. Mountains of physical evidence connected O. J. Simpson to the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but that didn't mean it would be easy. For the woman charged with prosecuting the "Trial of the Century", the light of fame would glow white hot, as the media scrutinized her strategy, her family, even her hair. As the case spun out of control, Marcia Clark stood tall.

Hunter Biden, der Sohn des US-Präsidenten, enthüllt die Wahrheit über sein Leben: Er erzählt von der bedingungslosen Liebe zwischen zwei Brüdern, die ein viel zu früher Tod trennte; von seinem Sturz in eine Hölle aus Drogen und Alkohol - und von der rettenden Kraft einer Liebe in letzter Sekunde. "Beautiful Things" ist der radikal ehrliche Bericht eines Mannes aus höchsten Kreisen, der immer tiefer in die Fänge seiner eigenen Dämonen gerät.

I 1977 begyndte 18 kvinder på Politiskolen. De blev Danmarks første kvindelige politibetjente, og de var med til at bryde en af samfundets allersidste rent mandsdominerede bastioner ned. I "Selvfølgelig kan vi det" fortæller 14 tidligere og nuværende kvindelige betjente om modtagelsen hos politiet, om jobbet og om udviklingen i forholdet mellem mænd og kvinder - både i samfundet, på arbejdsmarkedet, i hjemmene og på uddannelsesinstitutionerne. Preben Lund (f. 1955) er forfatter, journalist og tidligere fængselsbetjent.

Jeg håber, jeg har gjort en forskel er et nærværende portræt af Danmarks første kvindelige juraprofessor. Eva Smith er datter af tidligere justits- og indenrigsminister Hans Hækkerup, men allerede som ung besluttede hun sig for, at hun ville kendes som sig selv, og ikke som ministerdatter. Derfor tog hun navnet Smith, da hun blev gift første gang som 22-årig i Tel Aviv med amerikaneren Ranny Smith.Alle kvinder i hendes slægt er døde i en tidlig alder af kræft. Derfor regnede Eva Smith heller ikke med, at hun ville blive særligt gammel.

Questo audiolibro è un unicum. Mai fino ad ora un giudice della Corte aveva descritto il funzionamento di un organo così centrale nella vita giudiziaria e politica del nostro paese, e che parla solo attraverso le proprie sentenze. Con prosa misurata ma non reticente, sfilano nelle pagine, minuziosamente annotati, nove anni incandescenti (dal 2005 al 2014) punteggiati da sentenze "storiche", precedute e seguite da polemiche e speculazioni anche giornalistiche.

Giovanni è un bambino di Palermo. Per il suo decimo compleanno, il papà gli regala una giornata speciale, da trascorrere insieme, per spiegargli come mai, di tutti i nomi possibili, per lui è stato scelto proprio Giovanni. Tappa dopo tappa, mentre prende vita il racconto, padre e figlio esplorano Palermo, e la storia di Giovanni Falcone, rievocata nei suoi momenti chiave, s'intreccia al presente di una città che lotta per cambiare. Giovanni scopre che il papà non parla di cose astratte: la mafia c'è anche a scuola, nelle piccole prepotenze dei compagni di classe.

Mario Almerighi, giudice in prima linea nella lotta alla mafia e agli apparati corrotti dello stato, ripercorre quarant'anni di storia italiana, tra delitti dimenticati e politici impuniti. Una storia che inizia in Sicilia a fine anni settanta, quando il magistrato Giangiacomo Ciaccio Montalto avvia un'inchiesta su uno dei clan mafiosi più attivi della zona. Montalto si ritrova presto da solo nelle indagini e accerchiato dalle minacce, e il 25 gennaio 1983 viene freddato da un commando di sicari.

Avec toute la force de son engagement, Charles Berling fait magistralement revivre ici le premier combat de Robert Badinter contre la peine de mort.

Two murder trials were held in Toronto in the spring of 1962, only 19 days apart. The accused man in each trial, one a pimp accused of stabbing a fellow pimp to death, the other a thief who killed a policeman in a shootout, were the last two men to be hanged in Canada. Toronto criminal lawyer Ross Mackay was the counsel for the accused in both trials, a mere 30 years old when he lost them both to the gallows. But the trials were far from the last times that Mackay defended accused murderers in the most horrendous circumstances.

Nobody's Victim is an unflinching look at a hidden world most people don’t know exists—one of stalking, blackmail, and sexual violence, online and off—and the incredible story of how one lawyer, determined to fight back, turned her own hell into a revolution. “We are all a moment away...

Holmes twice escaped death as a young Union officer in the Civil War when musket balls barely missed his heart and spinal cord. He lived ever after with unwavering moral courage, scorn for dogma, and an insatiable intellectual curiosity. Named to the Supreme Court by Theodore Roosevelt at age 61, he served for nearly three decades, writing a series of famous, eloquent, and often dissenting opinions that would prove prophetic in securing freedom of speech, protecting the rights of criminal defendants, and ending the Court's reactionary resistance to social and economic reforms.
