The first book of legal advice for the hip hop generation,
Covering areas ranging from how to secure the best public defender to
what to do when driving DWB, this is a step-by-step guide to the
criminal system for those who need it most written by a criminal
defense attorney who knows this world from the inside out.
A counterpoint to
the "Law and Order" justice the public sees and believes in. This is
the real criminal justice system, as told from someone inside,
someone fights it ever day. This is not a manual for how to get off,
how to be a better criminal. It is proof that the system will eat you
up and spit you out if you dare to become involved or think you can
beat it. Raw Law authoritatively addresses the legal issues
faced by the hip hop generation, and offers a simple guide on how to
avoid certain situations and how to learn and respond to others. Here
readers will learn the truths and untruths of the justice system and
how they can protect themselves from the worst of it. But most of
all, they will learn how to follow the first rule of the criminal
justice system: AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!
