In that time, he has taken on dozens of groundbreaking cases and emerged as a pivotal figure in race relations in America. Cochran gained international recognition as one of America's best - and most controversial lawyers - for leading 'the Dream Team' defense of accused killer O.J. Simpson in the Trial of the Century. Many people formed their perception of Cochran based on his work in that trial. But long before the Simpson trial and since then Johnnie Cochran has been a leader in the fight for justice for all Americans. This is his story.Cochran emerged from the trial as one of the nation's leading African-American spokespersons - and he has done most of his talking through the courtroom. Abner Louima. Amadou Diallo. The racially-profiled New Jersey Turnpike Four. Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Patrick Dorismond. Cynthia Wiggins. These are the names that have dominated legal headlines - and Cochran was involved with each of them. No one who first encountered him during the Simpson trial can appreciate his impact on our world until they've read his whole story.Drawing on Cochran's most intriguing and difficult cases, A Lawyer's Life shows how he's fought his critics, won for his clients, and affected real change within the system. This is an intimate and compelling memoir of one lawyer's attempt to make us all truly equal in the eyes of the law.

Der skrives og tales meget om menneskerettigheder i disse år. Helmer Jørgensens "Da menneskerettighederne opstod" skildrer menneskerettighedernes historie fra de første spæde forsøg fra det engelske parlaments sejr og frem til tiden kort efter den franske revolution. Forfatterens overordnede idé er, at oplysningstid og individualisme nøje hænger sammen. Individualismens historie er også menneskerettighedernes historie. I Danmark har man en tendens til at anskue dem som modsatrettede. Forfatteren skildrer denne udvikling overbevisende og uimodståeligt.Helmer Jørgensen går lige til de primære kilder og forfatternes værker, og det både i Tyskland, England og Frankrig. Han begrænser sig ikke til de egentlige værker om menneskerettigheder og oplysningsfilosoffernes debatter, men sætter dem ind i en større åndshistorisk analyse ved at komplementere gennem kongeniale læsninger af store forfatteres litterære og dramatiske digtninger, som direkte og indirekte har betydning for udviklingen af menneskerettighederne. Bogen er medrivende skrevet og forbilledligt klart i sit sprog og i sin opbygning. Den henvender sig derfor til både læg og lærd. Til undervisere og elever. Til alle med interesse for menneskerettighederne.
