Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Preet Bharara, known as "the man who broke Wall Street," has handled many controversial major cases that are as exciting as an American legal drama, including collective pension fraud, the largest insider trading case in American history led by hedge fund tycoons, and the corruption case of the former New York State House Speaker.
But behind the tough exterior, Bharara is a man of integrity, honesty, and passion. His strict judicial attitude is driven by the belief that although the United States is a country ruled by law, justice does not simply exist in the text of the law, but also in the minds and hearts of those who interpret and enforce it. In this book, written with decades of experience, Bharara uses vivid examples to show readers the true face of judicial practice, while discussing the important role that values and mentality play in his evaluation, investigation, and prosecution process. Through complex cases, he takes us to explore what justice really means, how complicated justice can become in real life and cases, what it means to uphold justice, and how he puts his ideas about justice into practice.
