Aesop's fables clearly were not written to entertain children. His stories about the adventures and misadventures of lions, birds, donkeys, and wolves ask us to make important choices between such things as greed and giving, arrogance and humility, selfish indifference and compassion. Lawyers are the types of leaders that can benefit from Aesop's fable wisdom. We can take that wisdom and help lead our clients, our community ... maybe even an entire democracy to the high ground that Aesop believed was so difficult to claim.

There have been far too few practical trial advocacy books written by seasoned trial lawyers. Too often the books that fill the shelves of most law offices have a heavy emphasis on esoteric theory and a scarcity of nuts and bolts material that is actually useable in a true-to-life trial setting. These three very experienced trial lawyers have delivered a trial-ready guide that positively will improve the skills and technique of any lawyer who makes his or her living in a courtroom.

As managing partner for one of the nation's largest plaintiffs' law firms, Deke has gone toe to toe with some of the largest corporations in the world. His firm specializes in the tough, even quixotic, cases that few lawyers would dare to take on. Like human trafficking. &nbsp; Deke's target this time is Welcome Mat Hospitality, a firm known for its truck stops and lodging throughout the United States. What Welcome Mat doesn't advertise is the human trafficking--for sex work and slave labor--going on at many of its properties. For the sake of better profits, Welcome Mat's ownership has turned a blind eye to this lucrative enterprise. &nbsp; As invested as Deke is in the case, though, it takes on even greater urgency when the past comes calling with word that his fifteen-year-old goddaughter, Lily Reyes, is missing. When Deke learns that Lily has fallen prey to a notorious trafficker, his personal and professional worlds converge. For his goddaughter to survive, Deke must prevail not only in the legal arena but outside of it. &nbsp;
