Full Disclosure: A Novel
Beverley McLachlin, Joy Osmanski (Reading)
Interesting side note. It is noted that a picture of the female supreme court justice hung on a wall; this was likely the author herself.
Justice is what can be proved in a court of law; truth is quite another matter. And in a jury trial the prejudices of a jury of your peers becomes the deciding factor. Which is why until very recent decades no white person could be convicted of killing a black in the American South no matter how blatant the proof.
The lawyer here learns some painful truths about her background as an orphan. Sometimes justice does not bear strict adherence to the law.
