They were asked to tell about their lives, including their family backgrounds, education, careers, and their visions for the future. In many instances they also discussed their years in prison or exile, or under house arrest. Most told of both education and careers interrupted because of the ongoing struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story of the professional achievements of black lawyers in South Africa-indeed their very survival-provides an example of the triumph of individuals and, ultimately, of the law. \u003ci\u003eBlack Lawyers, White Courts\u003c\/i\u003e is about South Africa, and about black professionals in that country, but the lessons its protagonists teach extend far beyond circumstances, geography, or race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth S.
