追求正义：华尔街王牌律师戴维·博伊斯自传
《追求正义：华尔街金牌律师戴维·博伊斯自传》是戴维·博伊斯这位传奇律师的自传，在美国一出版就成为热销书。因为他在美国联邦政府诉微软案、布什诉戈尔案等里程碑式的诉讼案中精彩而成功的辩护，以及他的集法律知识、精心的准备和高风险的庭审策略于一身，使他赢得了“法庭上的迈克尔·乔丹”的美誉。
在本书中，戴维·博伊斯不仅对他承办的几起著名的案子进行了扣人心弦的描写，揭示了他在法庭内外所进行的风云诡谲的斗争内幕，而且细致入微地描述了他个人的成长细节：从伊利诺伊州平凡小镇的童年，与朗读困难症多年的抗争，到高中毕业后短暂的职业赌徒生涯，以及重新入学并成为耶鲁大学的法学研究生，最后创立自己的律师事务所，成为华尔街的金牌律师。他的一生令人惊叹！
同时，本书还展示了内行人对美国法律制度的洞见，凸显了这套制度的力量和弱点，发人深省。

Boies was born in Sycamore, Illinois, to two teachers, and raised in a farming community. He has four siblings. His first job was when he was 10 years old—a paper route with 120 customers. Boies has dyslexia and he did not learn to read until the third grade. In 1954, the family moved to California. Boies graduated from Fullerton Union High School in Fullerton, California.

Boies was an attorney at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where he started upon law school graduation in 1966 and became a partner in 1973. He left Cravath in 1997 after a major client objected to his representation of the New York Yankees even though the firm itself had found no conflict. He left the firm within 48 hours of being informed of the client's objection and created his own firm, now known as Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP.
Boies was also Chief Counsel and Staff Director of the United States Senate Antitrust Subcommittee in 1978, and served as Chief Counsel and Staff Director of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee in 1979.

先读记者为博伊斯写的传记《扳倒巨人》建立框架，再阅读这本自传，看里面丰富的案件准备阶段的取证、法条先例选择，也有精彩的庭上交叉询问，推荐。
