下半年入P大国际法学院,这本是导师推荐的入学前需要读完的第一本书,算是对美国法律体系是怎么运作的初步印象吧,导师强调的还是解决问题的思维而不是法律条文。另外的一本的是To Kill A Mockingbird.
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.
4.5
评分The most intriguing and compelling litigation story I have ever read. 整个感恩节都在读的一本书,也是各大法学院的必读,没读过简直不好意思说自己pre-law。在法庭上无法获得的正义,让全社会,让历史来重新审判。
评分算个杯具故事,但是写得有点像Capote的风格,挺喜欢
评分What's the price to pay for believing in and holding onto the truth that might not ever be uncovered? I see part of me in Schlichtmann and the empathy gets me stressed out as the case develops and turns. Is to be a trial lawyer only a remote dream for me?
评分"The truth?" Facher said, smiling, one day after court. "The truth is at the bottom of a bottomless pit." Jonathan,Harr. A Civil Action. New York:Random House,1995. 340
