About the Book

Paul Butler was an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Harvard Law grad who traded in his corporate law salary to fight the good fight. It was those years on the front lines that convinced him that the American criminal justice system is fundamentally broken - it's not making the streets safer, nor helping the people he'd hoped, as a prosecutor, to protect. In Let's Get Free, Butler, now an award-winning law professor, looks at several places where ordinary citizens interact with the justice system, exploring what "doing the right thing" means in a corrupt system.

About the Author :
A former federal prosecutor, Paul Butler is the country's leading expert on jury nullification. He provides legal commentary for CNN, NPR, and the Fox News Network, and has been featured on 60 Minutes and profiled in the Washington Post. He has written for the Post, the Boston Globe, and the Los Angeles Times, and is a law professor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Review :
"Useful analyses and original suggestions regarding the debate about how best to incarcerate fewer people . . . a debate that should have begun years ago." --California Lawyer "[A] masterpiece in the literature of American criminal justice." --Bookforum "An intriguing volume . . . the building block for future scholarship and conversations about racial issues affecting real people." --LA Daily Journal "Provides a framework of solutions to a stressed and broken justice system that is in need of reform." --purepolitics.com "A can't-put-it-down call to action from a progressive former prosecutor. Butler's take on controversial topics like snitching and drug legalization is provocative . . . smart and very entertaining." --Danny Glover "A fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the war on drugs, snitches, and whether locking so many people up really makes Americans safer." --Anthony Romero, executive director, American Civil Liberties Union "Useful analyses and original suggestions regarding the debate about how best to incarcerate fewer people . . . a debate that should have begun years ago." -California Lawyer "[A] masterpiece in the literature of American criminal justice." -Bookforum "An intriguing volume . . . the building block for future scholarship and conversations about racial issues affecting real people." -LA Daily Journal "Provides a framework of solutions to a stressed and broken justice system that is in need of reform." -purepolitics.com "A can't-put-it-down call to action from a progressive former prosecutor.
