Summary: Another milestone for women lawyers.
Comment: Harvard Law School celebrates its 50th year of admitting women with a three day program, featuring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Attorney General Janet Reno.
We begin our 30th year of practicing law today -- we have no idea where the time went. It really flew.
Our law school class had some 200 students, 11 of whom were women. Women now make up 50% or more of law school classes around the country.
We'd like to see more women criminal defense lawyers in private practice -- this field remains very much male-dominated.
To get a real inside glimpse of the hurdles women defense lawyers face -- and the degree of determination needed to suceed, we highly recommend defense lawyer-turned Court TV anchor Rikki Klieman's new book, Fairy Tales Can Come True: How a Driven Woman Changed Her Destiny.
We describe the book on CrimeLynx as "a riveting, brutally honest memoir by celebrated criminal trial attorney and Court TV Anchor Rikki Klieman, in which she details not only her triumphs as a pioneer in the male-dominated arena of criminal defense, but the price she paid for success -- and the toll it took on her personal life and physical health. The book becomes filled with spirit and joy, however, as Rikki describes falling in love in middle age and learning that she can have it all."

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Comment: I picked up a copy of FAIRY TALES CAN COME TRUE by Court TV anchor Rikki Klieman -- and I couldn't put it down until I'd read the entire book from cover to cover! This is a brutally honest and moving "confessional" by a driven woman for whom career success was once the end-all-and-be-all of life. That is, until she met the love of her life: Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton who, despite being an overachiever himself, paradoxically brought a new perspective and balance to her hectic life and lifestyle.
What I loved about this book is that despite being a public person, Rikki takes you into the most private moments of her life -- getting sick before starting yet another grueling work week at her law firm, discovering her mother's dead body, her failed marriages -- and makes you her intimate. You are there on the scene, living each moment with her, and learning as she herself learns.
Forget the cliched "Superwoman" persona of most women's memoirs...Rikki Klieman tells it like it was and tells it like it is, with all of the grit and determination of someone willing to risk living her life out loud, for her sake as well as, thankfully, ours.

Summary: one sad person
Comment: Rikki Klieman is not much of a writer and less of a person. There is nothing here of interest or value.
