By the one-time federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, an important overview of the way our justice system works, and why the rule of law is essential to our society. Using case histories, personal experiences and his own inviting writing and teaching style, Preet Bharara shows the thought process we need to best achieve truth and justice in our daily lives and within our society.
Preet Bharara has spent much of his life examining our legal system, pushing to make it better, and prosecuting those looking to subvert it. Bharara believes in our system and knows it must be protected, but to do so, we must also acknowledge and allow for flaws in the system and in human nature.
The book is divided into four sections: Inquiry, Accusation, Judgment and Punishment. He shows why each step of this process is crucial to the legal system, but he also shows how we all need to think about each stage of the process to achieve truth and justice in our daily lives.
Bharara uses anecdotes and case histories from his legal career--the successes as well as the failures--to illustrate the realities of the legal system, and the consequences of taking action (and in some cases, not taking action, which can be just as essential when trying to achieve a just result).
Much of what Bharara discusses is inspiring--it gives us hope that rational and objective fact-based thinking, combined with compassion, can truly lead us on a path toward truth and justice. Some of what he writes about will be controversial and cause much discussion. Ultimately, it is a thought-provoking, entertaining book about the need to find the humanity in our legal system--and in our society.

评分写的太好了,希望3L能和Preet上课。从调查到推荐punishment梳理了检察官在司法体系中的作用(也是个crim review....),中间穿插各个优秀的探员和AUSA的故事还有惊心动魄的案件。法学院上久了很容易越来越cynical,忘记法治还有正义的重要性忘记法律究竟为了什么存在,感觉各种technicalities似乎仅仅存在在真空中。今天3L毕业典礼看完这本好被inspired,虽然从没想过像很多同学一样做各种reform,但是还是希望能做正确的事,做对社会有用的人。
评分【有聲書】雖然也是和Trump有過結的公務員,但是書的重心並不在把他炒了魷魚的人身上。而是通過娓娓道來一個個典型案例來強調美國司法體系獨立和公正的重要性。但是對Trump含沙射影的抨擊還是可以察覺出來的。從作者本人和他同僚的經歷可以從一定程度上理解為何一個混亂的白宮不會完全打亂美國國家機器總體的運行。因為政府的各種機構裡仍然有像作者本人和McCabe還有Comey那些秉承原則、有極強責任感和使命感的人在任勞任怨地工作。這種獨立但不放縱的體系難能可貴。
评分热血沸腾!由几个浅显易懂的案例向大众娓娓道来作为prosecutor究竟意味着什么 真正的好书应是没什么门槛的 Preet就做到了 印象最深刻莫过于美国司法机构是独立于其它各个部门的 权利集中在单一部门/个人肯定是经不起考验的 行使正义/邪恶的永远是人 而不是法律本身 美国已是世界上数一数二的法治社会了 但毕竟还是由人组成的 人总难免犯错 连法治社会都能敲响警钟 我们呢
