"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
评分压抑 就像封面 有时候觉得他有些自负了 朋友和伙伴的忠告一概忽略 为了想象中不切实际的胜利 黑着走 书中的一句评论很认同 即或许最开始他是为了名利 但是后来他真的是为了公益 但反过来想想 任何人对一件事有这么深刻的了解 都很难再以肤浅如名利的原因为继 知道适可而止 也是很重要的
评分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。
评分之前上课读完the Buffalo disaster老师就推荐了这本,说不是每一个案子都伸张正义了,这个就输的很惨,破产的主角还来我们学校演讲过。。。。终于抽空读了写的真好。。。

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.
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Finished it in a hurry, never thought an epic story of this would end in such a strikingly cruel way. I almost found myself losing faith in the whole system in the face of so many lies and so called "injustice". One line impressed me most reads "(for bei...
评分 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。...
