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.

下半年入P大國際法學院,這本是導師推薦的入學前需要讀完的第一本書,算是對美國法律體係是怎麼運作的初步印象吧,導師強調的還是解決問題的思維而不是法律條文。另外的一本的是To Kill A Mockingbird.
評分時光如水。最近在看喬納森·哈爾的非虛構作品《漫長的訴訟》(A Civil Action),感慨良多!程序正義、實質正義和人性的激情四射之碰撞,在這看似冗長、瑣碎的大企業汙染環境造成的人身傷害案的司法審判進程中,漸漸浮現齣來… 司法公正,是絕大多數民眾都渴求的。除瞭自甘奴役...
評分書看完的一些感受: 1、在法律保障基本人權方麵,我們與美國還差50年的距離。1970年代的美國民事訴訟,原被告的證人都可以在人身安全得到保障的前提下、沒有負擔地參與訴訟,在法院工作人員的見證下,接受雙方詢問,以期盡可能接近事實真相,不會被對方威脅、不用擔心被報復。...

評分The most intriguing and compelling litigation story I have ever read. 整個感恩節都在讀的一本書,也是各大法學院的必讀,沒讀過簡直不好意思說自己pre-law。在法庭上無法獲得的正義,讓全社會,讓曆史來重新審判。
評分寥寥幾筆就能立起人物形象,抽絲剝繭把一個復雜而很有可能無聊的故事慢慢展開,還講得極為生動有趣。整本書高潮迭起,讓人手不釋捲,實在非常精彩。
評分壓抑 就像封麵 有時候覺得他有些自負瞭 朋友和夥伴的忠告一概忽略 為瞭想象中不切實際的勝利 黑著走 書中的一句評論很認同 即或許最開始他是為瞭名利 但是後來他真的是為瞭公益 但反過來想想 任何人對一件事有這麼深刻的瞭解 都很難再以膚淺如名利的原因為繼 知道適可而止 也是很重要的
