About the Book

The Rape Case chronicles one lawyer's seven-year struggle to ensure that long-delayed justice was not permanently denied. This true story details the sensational events of a fall night in 1947 that shocked the sleepy city of Wilmington, Delaware, and left three young men fighting for their lives in a lurid, highly publicized trial. Found guilty, the men languished in jail. Their hope for freedom faded slowly over the years, until a young attorney named Irving Morris took up their case. The sole champion of an infamous and unpopular cause, Morris endured derision and numerous courtroom defeats before finally winning his clients their freedom. This engaging, detailed account of the events surrounding Delaware's "trial of the century," written by the man who ultimately saw that justice was done, is a lesson in the courage and character required of those who would ensure fairness and the rule of law.

About the Author :
Irving Morris, a past president of the Delaware State Bar Association, litigated numerous civil rights cases over his fifty year career, including over four decades of participation in the desegregation of Delaware's public schools.

Review :
One creative lawyer's perseverance against a system that failed miserably in its duty to do justice is particularly vital today when courts and legislatures seem more and more inclined to support finality rather than fairness, and toughness more than truth. Thus, the book teachers lessons for today's lawyers and citizens. And does so with graphic details and thoughtful analysis, coupled with charm and humor. -- Frederick A. O. Schwartz, Jr., Chief Counsel, Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law
