Leaning on the Arc: A Personal History of Criminal Defense M. Gerald Schwartzbach 2016, Hardcover, 224 pages, 6 x 9
“Gerry Schwartzbach’s fascinating book is not only packed with great tales of injustice subverted by intelligence and passion, but it reminds us how the litany of prosecutorial injustices we read about daily, can be overthrown by the old industrial-age values of diligence, deep thought, and a burning commitment to justice. Though many of the cases in this book are about the famous, I met him when he was defending a penniless and unknown close friend of mine. I know a stand-up man when I see one, and you should read this book to gain an introduction.” —Peter Coyote, Actor/Author

Leaning on the Arc is the story of what can happen to people when they are objectified—and how the law can stop it—told over the span of twelve key cases in the illustrious career of renowned criminal defense attorney M. Gerald Schwartzbach. Part memoir, part case history, Schwartzbach demonstrates why and how true justice can only happen when we refuse to objectify the defendant. Published by Ankerwycke Books
