Courting Justice

David Boies came to my attention during the Bush v. Gore litigation in 2000. He was impressive and brilliant advocating for Gore. Courting Justice concludes with three chapters on this high profile case but first tackles several others including DOJ's antitrust fight against Microsoft. (Spoiler: Bill Gates comes off as a major asshole).

I am riveted whenever I hear Boies speak but this book was tedious. It felt like work to finish it. Nevertheless, the legal content is fascinating. The problem is in the unexplored avenues Boies frequently mentions and abandons. After 470 pages one would think we'd know more about Boies.
