Tight spine, clean pages. 303 pages. A profile of America's best-known celebrity lawyer discusses Mitchelson's greatest moments in the courtroom, his sexual escapades with clients and others, and his troubles with the State Bar, and includes Mitchelson's own insights. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Journalist and author Jenkins ( The Litigators ) masterfully recounts the life of Mitchelson, "divorce lawyer to the stars." The famous Hollywood attorney resembles a Dickensian figure, but one who alarms instead of amuses. A poor student who squeaked past the bar at age 29 in 1957, within 10 years Mitchelson was winning multimillion-dollar divorce settlements for Pamela Mason, ex-wife of the actor James, and other famous folk. The lawyer prospered through the years and his reputation grew, particularly when he represented Michelle Marvin in her palimony suit against actor Lee Marvin, settled in 1979. Recently, however, Mitchelson, accused of defrauding clients, drug addiction, rape and other sexual crimes, has been forced to defend himself. That is now the main concern of the man who agreed with Dickens's Mr. Bumble that "the law is a ass!"--and often proved it. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal This unauthorized biography chronicles the humble origins, rise to fame, and relentless quest for publicity of Marvin Mitchelson, dubbed the "Prince of Palimony" for successfully obtaining legal protection for live-in lovers. Mitchelson's most famous cases--Michelle Marvin, Pamela Mason, and Joan Collins--are detailed, as is his appearance before the U.S. Supreme Court. His hushed-up problems with the Internal Revenue Service over tax evasion, his cocaine use, and charges that he has raped clients are all carefully documented. Written by a journalist and author of The Litigators ( LJ 4/1/89), this is a surprisingly believable and engrossing account intended for the lay reader. - Elizabeth Fielder Olson, Archer & Greiner, Haddonfield, N.J.

Jenkins, John A. The Litigators: Inside the Powerful World of America's High Stakes Trial Lawyers
New York, New York, U.S.A. Doubleday 1989 0385244088 / 9780385244084 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 463 pages. From Library Journal Jenkins's boast that his book "will take you right into the courtroom with the country's greatest lawyers as they pursue the biggest verdicts in history" is not entirely hyperbole. The six attorneys profiled here--all plaintiff trial lawyers--are masters of the law of torts and operate at the million-dollar level. Among these "swashbucklers of American jurisprudence" are Mort Galane, Wayne Newton's counsel for the entertainer's libel action against NBC; John Coale, a specialist in disasters like the Bhopal chemical leak; and Marc Edell, who took on the tobacco industry in Cippollone v. Liggett . The book's colorful characters, absorbing cases, and readable style make it a top choice for popular law collections. - Kenneth F. Kister, Poynter Inst. for Media Studies, St. Petersburg, Fla.
