Summary: Justice Prevailed
Review: "Journey to Justice" was much more than I expected. I expected a lenghthy book with Johnny Cochran just "telling" about his life. But actually he didn't just "tell" his descriptions of everything in the story from his hometown church to the first case he ever lost. Everything was so descriptive. I got vivid pictures in my head about his whole life. He also had lots of life lessons in almost every new topic. He shows that it takes time and patience if one wants to become successful in like and that is exactly what he has done. I didn't think that his writing style was going to be that great but it wasn't half bad. Another thing I loved about "Journey to Justice" is that he recognizes key people in history and key events. That keeps one involved in the story. But one thing is though sometimes it seems like he gave information that didn't seem needed. Other than that the book is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone who is intrested in African American men who have made history.

Summary: Johnnie Cochran's Journey to Justice is a motivational tool.
Review: Any African-American who has had a run-on with police officers in the United States will appreciate this book. Mr. Cochran showed fortitude in this compelling account of police narcissism and supremacy. If people would look past their own rose-colored glasses, they will see that Johnnie Cochran is more than an attorney who runs to cause celebres. He is analytical and he is needed in America......especially the America that allows African-Americans to be choked to death.

Summary: Cochran will get you thinking about the judicial system
Review: Heard the taped version of JOURNEY TO JUSTICE,
written and narrated by Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. . . . I thought
I had heard ALL I wanted to ever know about the O.J.
Simpson case, but I was wrong . . . Cochran's story
got me to rethink the verdict again, and he makes some
compelling points about why the prosecution was not
able to prove its case well enough to get a guilty
conviction . . . I particularly liked some inside
dirt that I had not heard before; i.e., how Robert
Shaprio nearly blew the case for the defense . . . Cochran
also got me to think about how minorities have been
treated throughout time with respect to the judicial
system . . . I feel I got to know him better as a result
of listening and one thing is for sure: he'd be on the
top of my list if I ever needed a criminal attorney!

Summary: Excellent Historical Synopsis of the Los Angeles Police Dept
Review: I couldn't put it down! An outstanding historical perspective of the LAPD as well as a heart warming autobiography of
Johnnie Cochran 'the family man'. It gives great insight into events that occured during the
O. J. Simpson trial. While it is not a blow by blow account
of the court proceedings, it opens your eyes to some glaring facts and forces you to take off the blinders that may not
have allowed you to see the full picture.
I now have a new and greater respect for Johnnie Cochran. It is very well written and the 'story' flows well which results in easy reading.

Summary: EXCELLENT HISTORICAL SYNOPSIS OF THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPT
Review: I couldn't put it down! It is very well written and the 'story' flows well which results in easy reading. It gives a blazing historical persepctive of the LAPD as well as a heart-warming autobiography of Johnnie L. Cochran the 'family man'. It also reveals some 'behind the scenes' events of the
O. J. Simpson 'Trial of the Century' unknown by most. While it is not a blow by blow characterization of the so called 'dream team', it opens your eyes
to some glaring facts and forces you to take off the blinders and get a well focused panoramic view. I now have a new and greater respect for trial lawyers in general and Johnnie L. Cochran specifically. You will be glad you read it!

Summary: Very interesting book.
Review: I have read all the books that are out on the Simpson case. I still have not formed an opinion about Mr Simpson.
All possibiliteis were
covered in the books published.The more I read
the more I get confused. One point that I just
cannot fathom, how could one person kill
two people at the same time with neither
screaming or running? Mr. Cochrans book explains all points but does not totally convince me of of how , what or why this brutal crime was
commited. The first half of book was rather boring talking
about his upbringing but I suppose to some it would be interesting if they like lots of details. Personaly
I would rather get to the subject.

Summary: A good look at the way things are
Review: I just noticed my copy of this book in my library and decided to write a belated review. This book has nothing to do with OJ, it was merely the publicity around OJ that made a bestseller possible for Cochran. Regardless of how you feel about him, it is impossible to come away from this look into the treatment of minorities in LA without a new perspective. Whenever a person of color is stopped at a red light in a surburban town just because he is in the wrong place at the right time, Cochran's themes resonate. Watching the news in the last few days, the indiscriminate beatings at the hands of professionals who are trained in the art of restraint makes Cochran's book a must read for anyone whose interest in our country runs beyond blaring country music promoting revenge against foreign enemies. Some of the enemies are right here.

Summary: THE WARRIOR LAWYER!!!
Review: I read this book a few years ago. I was very intrigued about Mr. Cochran especially after the O.J. Simpson trial. This book is awesome and so is Johnnie Cochran!! The racism he had to put up with, as well as the numerous times he confronted the L.A.P.D.!! He lays it on the line about himself, his life and his growth. If you liked the man, you'll love him after reading this book. If you don't know the man, you'll gain the greatest respect for him after reading this book!!
