Poetry. In this, the second of his three-book series TRIAL &amp; ERROR: THE EDUCATION OF A FREEDOM LAWYER, Art Campbell becomes a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. He tries dozens of cases with only ten minutes preparation, confronts "testilying" witnesses, and argues constitutional issues on behalf of the government. His prosecutorial career culminates with his accidental conviction of an innocent man. When he is told by his superior to let the verdict stand, he disobeys. With vivid description and uncommon candor Campbell reveals prosecutorial strategies, flaws in our justice system, and his own doubts whether, as a prosecutor, he can still be a freedom lawyer.

Trial & Error: The Education of a Freedom Lawyer, Volume Two: For the Prosecution

Poetry. The first book in Campbell's critically acclaimed trilogy saw him as the country's first law student to argue a case before his state supreme court. The second book witnessed him convict (and then free) an innocent man as a prosecutor in Washington, D.C. The current volume returns Campbell to the defense, tracks his transition to teaching in California, and culminates with his defending his wife and others in "California versus Drusilla Campbell." It was the largest mass-protest trial in San Diego history.
