“I’ve known David Rudolf since 1975 when we began our careers as public defenders in the Bronx. He is a brilliant and passionate advocate whose searing critique of the way power is abused in America’s criminal legal system is based on firsthand experience in the trenches, sophisticated insight, and a willingness to speak truth to power."
-- Barry Scheck, Co-Founder of & Special Counsel to The Innocence Project, Professor of Law, Cardozo Law School
“For readers seeking to top up their outrage about abuses in criminal justice, this book makes a fine companion to Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy and Emily Bazelon’s Charged. A stellar—and often shocking—report on a broken criminal justice system.”
-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Trial lawyers are storytellers, and when the trial lawyer is one of the very best, the stories could not be more riveting, or told with more passion. American Injustice is filled with compelling narratives, beautifully told, sweeping the reader along to the final conclusions. They are accounts of injustice and abuses of power that were not aberrant but seemingly embedded in case after case that Rudolf recounts. The impact is chilling. This is an important book not only for players in the criminal legal system, but for a public that truly needs to know.”
-- Hon. Nancy Gertner (Retired)
“David Rudolf has written a searing indictment of the American criminal justice system. This terrific book is neither a polemic nor an academic treatise. By describing the cases from his amazing career, Rudolf has written a very engaging and powerful first-person account of how justice and injustice are actually done in the United States.”
-- Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law
"David Rudolf has been confronting injustice for decades. In this exciting book, his powerful voice for justice will inspire the new generation and inform us all."
-- Michael E. Tigar, lawyer, teacher, author of Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer’s Life in the Battle for Change
"By sharing first-hand accounts of people falsely accused and unjustifiably prosecuted, Rudolf vibrantly demonstrates just how quickly and how permanently an innocent person’s life can be destroyed. This is a sobering, infuriating, and essential examination of the flaws and failures of the country’s legal system."
-- Booklist
“Defense attorney Rudolf debuts with a searing look at systemic failures in the U.S. justice system… Enriched by Rudolf’s firsthand experience and heartfelt compassion for his clients, this is a harrowing call for change.”
