Went into this already knowing the legal system in the US is extremely flawed, and came out with the depressing realization that it is even worse than I thought. Dorn describes law as “A universe where things are this way because they’ve been this way, with insufficient awareness of how f***ing problematic that rationale is in a country like the United States, where things have been this way mostly because of racism and sexism and classism, among many other bad -isms.��

Dorn describes the many instances in which she encountered these myriad “bad -isms�� while at law school and as a practicing lawyer, while also acknowledging her own privilege as a wealthy white woman in this harmful system. While the concluding sections on her personal journey from lawyer to writer could have been more fleshed out, I appreciated Dorn’s honesty regarding her own thoughts and motivations, and use of humor and pop culture references to critique our deeply flawed legal system.
