The Dopamine Lawyer

What if the true culprit in a courtroom isn't just the person in the dock but their brain chemistry? The Dopamine Lawyer: Neuroscience Behind Legal Decisions dives into the fascinating world where the law meets the mind, exploring how dopamine our brain's chemical of motivation and reward quietly influences crime, justice, and the choices we all make.

From impulsive thefts and crimes of passion to courtroom strategies and sentencing bias, this book unpacks how dopamine shapes everything from criminal behavior to legal reasoning. Real cases, like the mind-bending story of Herbert Weinstein and the compulsions of kleptomania, challenge our traditional ideas of free will and accountability. It's a compelling look at how addiction, impulse control, and brain disorders may not excuse crime but might just explain it.

Written in a sharp, accessible voice by Advocate Narayanaswamy R., High Court of Karnataka, The Dopamine Lawyer is a must-read for legal minds, psychology enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how science is reshaping justice. With thought-provoking insights, surprising neuroscience, and page-turning clarity, this book offers a bold new way of understanding behavior, responsibility, and the future of law itself.
