在看虚构写作里面提到了这部,这个奇怪的译名让我好找。 看到三分之一 关于法律知识和实物有点了解,比如律师是如何开展工作的,如何攻击对手的,的确是个吸血,变相敲诈的行当哈哈哈哈,不过也算利益再分配的一种方式吧,特别是伤人赔偿这一环,可能特别有行侠仗义感 写作方面...
评分书看完的一些感受: 1、在法律保障基本人权方面,我们与美国还差50年的距离。1970年代的美国民事诉讼,原被告的证人都可以在人身安全得到保障的前提下、没有负担地参与诉讼,在法院工作人员的见证下,接受双方询问,以期尽可能接近事实真相,不会被对方威胁、不用担心被报复。...

The legal thriller of the decade. --Cleveland Plain Dealer
Now a Major Motion Picture!
In this true story of an epic courtroom showdown, two of the nation's largest corporations stand accused of causing the deaths of children. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. A searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry--one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice-- A Civil Action is also the story of how one determined man can ultimately make a difference. With an unstoppable narrative power, it is an unforgettable reading experience.
“I used to believe in the idea that justice would prevail if you worked hard enough at it. I thought if judges saw cheating right in front of them, they’d do something about it. The Woburn case gave me a depressing dose of reality.” - Charles Nesson
