review 1: Fourteen year old female lawyer in Denver, CO (1973). After her beloved father and older brother are killed in a traffic accident, Kate Hope starts spending most of her free time with her grandfather, an attorney. After studying law for two years, she becomes a lawyer by way of a loophole in CO territory law that had been carried over into CO statehood. Her big cases involve a legal Mexican alien accused of stealing tools from a former employer and a dog accused of attacking a baby.
review 2: Downing, Wick. 2008. The Trials of Kate Hope.This one was just too much fun. Fun might not be the right word. By fun, I don't mean it's fluff. I don't mean it lacks any in substance or heart. I just meant that I liked spending time with it. That I really really enjoyed ... moreit. I loved Kate. And I loved her Grandpa. More than I ever thought I would to tell you the truth. Set in 1973 in Denver, Colorado, it follows the life of a most unusual fourteen-year-old. Kate Hope. Lawyer. Yes, lawyer. She's the law partner of her eighty-something year old grandfather. The book focuses in on two cases. It's really much more interesting than the book cover might suggest. less
