After the sudden shock of Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016, many Americans felt lost and uncertain. It was clear he and his administration were going to pursue a series of retrograde, devastating policies. What could be done? Immediately, women lawyers all around the country, independently of each other, sprang into action, and they had a common goal: they weren't going to stand by in the face of injustice, while Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican party did everything in their power to remake the judiciary in their own conservative image. Over the next four years, the women worked tirelessly to hold the line against the most chaotic and malign presidency in living memory. There was Sally Yates, the acting attorney general of the United States, who refused to sign off on the Muslim travel ban. And Becca Heller, the founder of a refugee assistance program who brought the fight over the travel ban to the airports. And Roberta Kaplan, the famed commercial litigator, who sued the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. And, of course, Stacey Abrams, whose efforts to protect the voting rights of millions of Georgians may well have been what won the Senate for the Democrats in 2020. These are just a handful of the stories Lithwick dramatizes in thrilling detail to tell a brand-new and deeply inspiring account of the Trump years. With unparalleled access to her subjects, she has written a luminous book, not about the villains of the Trump years, but about the heroes. A celebration of the tireless efforts, legal ingenuity, and indefatigable spirit of the women whose work all too often went unrecognized at the time, Lady Justice is destined to be treasured and passed from hand to hand for generations to come, not just among lawyers and law students, but among all optimistic and hopeful Americans"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001429242 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 05, 2022). 001429242 60010 $$aTrump, Donald,$$d1946- 001429242 60017 $$aTrump, Donald,$$d1946-$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00174117 001429242 648_7 $$a2016-2021$$2fast 001429242 650_0 $$aJustice, Administration of$$zUnited States$$xCriminal provisions. 001429242 650_0 $$aContempt of court$$zUnited States. 001429242 650_0 $$aObstruction of justice$$zUnited States. 001429242 650_0 $$aDiscrimination in justice administration$$zUnited States. 001429242 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$xElection$$y2016. 001429242 650_7 $$aContempt of court.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00876634 001429242 650_7 $$aDiscrimination in justice administration.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00895100 001429242 650_7 $$aJustice, Administration of$$xCriminal provisions.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00985165 001429242 650_7 $$aObstruction of justice.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01043030 001429242 650_7 $$aPolitics and government.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919741 001429242 650_7 $$aPresidents$$xElection.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01075747 001429242 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y2017-2021. 001429242 655_4 $$aElectronic books. 001429242 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLithwick, Dahlia$$tLady justice$$dNew York : Penguin Press, 2022$$z9780525561385$$w(DLC) 2022019477 001429242 852__ $$bebk 001429242 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,shib&db=nlebk&AN=3125144&site=ehost-live&scope=site$$zOnline Access 001429242 8564_ $$3Image$$uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1523-1/{1CEA2EA2-367F-445E-9A8C-1326FA49C254}Img100.jpg 001429242 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1429242$$pGLOBAL_SET 001429242 980__ $$aBIB 001429242 980__ $$aEBOOK 001429242 982__ $$aEbook 001429242 983__ $$aOnine
