Appellate attorney's novel 'Proof' wins 2018 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction

Cynthia E. Tobisman has won the 2018 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction for her second published novel, Proof. “I am honored, humbled, and frankly, totally stunned,” Tobisman said in a press release. “The spirit of To Kill A Mockingbird is the spirit of one person’s ability to make the world a little more fair. That the selection committee saw that spirit in my book is something that I will treasure forever.” Tobisman is a partner with Greines, Martin, Stein & Richland in Los Angeles, where she practices appellate law. Under the name C. E. Tobisman, she has published two novels, Doubt and Proof, and a comic book series, Inside the Loop.
