The Other Side of the Law: The Power of Compassion in Making Tough Legal Decisions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781438921655)

Bill Marks escorts the reader along his thirty year journey as a trial lawyer to reveal "The Other Side of the Law." This is the human side that is rarely seen or disclosed, where gut-wrenching decisions are made by lawyers, clients and judges as they work their way through the legal system. Each of the thirty chapters represents a case which brings insight of gripping and agonizing decisions that must be made, many of which have life changing consequences. Trial lawyers ask questions, search for facts, and seek honest answers in their search for the truth as they strive to obtain justice, equity and fairness for their clients. Marks goes beyond the legal consequences in describing cases where his heart and the heart of his clients were touched by the legal system. Bill Marks received a B. S. degree from the College of Business and a Juris Doctor degree from the College of Law at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee; an M. A. degree from Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky. He was granted a law license by The Tennessee Supreme Court in 1967 and is a former Assistant District Attorney General for the State of Tennessee.
