Preet Bharara: Live at Politics and Prose

In Doing Justice, one-time federal prosecutor Preet Bharara uses case histories, personal experiences, and his own inviting writing and teaching style to show the thought process we need to best achieve truth and justice in our daily lives and within our society. Bharara has spent much of his life examining our legal system, pushing to make it better, and prosecuting those looking to subvert it; he believes in our system and knows it must be protected, but to do so, we must also acknowledge and allow for flaws in the system and in human nature. Ultimately, Doing Justice is an inspiring, thought-provoking, and entertaining book about the need to find the humanity in our legal system–and in our society. Bharara is in conversation with Bianna Golodryga, journalist and CNN contributor. https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780525521129 PREET BHARARA served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2009 to 2017.
