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.

读后感
some understanding of US civil procedure would help.
评分 评分最近地下水污染的新闻很多，把自己写的这篇旧文翻出来又看了一下。事情总在不断地循环发生中... A Civil Action 是一本Civil Right案例纪要，主要围绕80年代的一个著名案例：两座公司生产中的化学废料污染了波士顿附近一个村镇的水源，饮用该水源的居民（尤其是幼儿）纷纷得...
评分是本好书，非常推荐。 这本书的开始不太好读，节奏也不快，慢慢地交待背景，介绍人物。但是一旦熬过了开头，故事越到后面越精彩，越发展越快，仿佛一部不断加速奔跑的马车。。。到最后，书在手中完全放不下来，只能挑灯夜战，一口气把它看完。 合上书后，在我脑海里徘徊的不...

3年前想读的。教授帮忙 要求punitive damage 有种神来之笔，可惜最后案子因为原告经济不足以支持，只能以和解告终。原告律师自己贴钱的巨大风险，甚至要向信用卡公司借高利贷，最后还搞到自己破产。法官读起来一开始还不偏不倚，但后来被写得像一面倒支持好朋友，处处针对原告了。关键的一点是法官用“自己的判断”，只对Grace的污染行为加以确认，直接打消了对另一家的污染行为指控(即使陪审团不同意)，而另一家在审判过程中隐瞒了不少对自己有害的证据，之后上诉法院也只是把案子发回同一个法官审判，这就进入了一种死循环之中。
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?
