Shon Hopwood was a good kid from a good Nebraskan family. Those who knew him well would never have imagined that, as a young man, he'd be adrift with few prospects and plotting to rob a bank. But he did, committing five armed bank robberies before being apprehended. Serving ten years in federal prison, Shon feared his life was over. He wasn't sure if he could survive a cell block, but he was determined to try. Hopwood pumped-up in the prison gym to defend himself and earned respect on the basketball court. He reconnected with the girl of his dreams from high school through letters and prison visits; and, crucially, he talked his way into a job in the prison law library. Hopwood slowly taught himself criminal law and began to help fellow inmates rather than himself. He wrote one petition to the Supreme Court, which was chosen to be heard from over 7000 other petitions submitted by the greater legal community that year. The Justices voted 9-0 in favor of Hopwood's petition when the case was finally heard. What might have been considered luck by some, was dispelled when a second petition from him was selected to be heard by the Supreme Court. He didn't grasp it yet, but Shon's legal work was the start of a new life. Shon works on policy reform, and he is a cofounder of PrisonProfessors.com. He strives to improve outcomes of America's prison system, and he tells his amazing story in Law Man.

As a young teenager, Ruth Rymer decided she wanted to be a lawyer because "lawyers get to walk around the courtroom and ask the questions." On her fortieth birthday as a newly minted attorney, Ruth Rymer made a decision to root out misogyny in her professional life. Her law career included establishing family law as a certified specialty in California, leading the way to making family law a more respectable practice for attorneys. In 1996, Rymer was awarded a PhD for her study of divorce and the fight of women for their "lives, safety, sanity, and status." From the "child in residence" she once was to the women's rights champion she is today, Ruth Rymer has come a long way. Raising the Bar: A Lawyer's Memoir uplifts with the courage and persistence it took to be a pioneer advocate for women in the second half of the twentieth century. Ruth Rymer passed the bar in 1971 and has remained fascinated with women's rights ever since. While practicing family law, she was elected President of both Queen's Bench in the Bay Area and the NorCal Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Ruth also chaired the Family Law Commission for the California Board of Legal Specialization. The Best Lawyers in America has listed Ruth Rymer seven times. Ruth has two grown children and has survived the loss of a child. She lives in northern California. Raising the Bar: A Lawyer's Memoir is her third book.
