In Counsel, the Courtroom Is Open, Mark takes the reader behind the scenes of high-profile lawsuits and reveals the strategies that won him tough cases at trials and on appeals. He shares the wit, wisdom, and wonder of his unexpected path into the legal profession and the creativity that fueled his ascent.
