Annotated Bibliography 3

Douglas, Mariah. "Top Lawyers 2016." Louisville Magazine, vol. 67, no. 3, Mar. 2016, pp. 70-85. EBSCOhost, proxygsu-sfor.galileo.usg.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=fth&AN=113489169&site=eds-live&scope=site.

 This is an article from a Louisville magazine about the best lawyers in Louisville.  It has several, small interviews with lawyers, which includes background information about the lawyer and the questions and answers to a few questions.  The questions and answers provide a good amount of detail into the characters of the lawyers presented.  For example, based off of the answer
   “Learning something new, whether it’s about an
     area of law or about another culture or country,"
to the question, "A Day doesn't go by without...?" I can tell that this person appreciates the new things about everyday.  Which is very helpful to my research, because one thing that seems to be present over all lawyers is a sense of repetition.  Repeated cases, meaning only doing DUI's for criminal, or only doing immigration cases, for an immigration lawyer.  So, this shows that people who still want change in their jobs can still be well-renowned lawyers.

Some potential quotes I can use:
“People who aren’t exposed to the criminal-justice system
might think it works perfectly, but that can’t be further from
the truth; (innocent people being convicted) does happen,
and it’s important for people to understand that,"
"
Why class-action law?
“It allows people whose claims would
typically be pushed aside to join
together and fight. It levels the playing
felid for individuals against the large
corporations of the world.”
 

 
 This source is reliable because it is from a notable magazine, it was found using Galileo, and it provides real people with real answers without any opinions from the magazine's author. 

This fits into my research because it shows real lawyers.  I will be able to looks at each lawyer and determine why they became an attorney and what makes them good enough to be put into a magazine.  This is relevant to my topic because its about lawyers who are the "best."
