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.
时光如水。最近在看乔纳森·哈尔的非虚构作品《漫长的诉讼》(A Civil Action),感慨良多!程序正义、实质正义和人性的激情四射之碰撞,在这看似冗长、琐碎的大企业污染环境造成的人身伤害案的司法审判进程中,渐渐浮现出来… 司法公正,是绝大多数民众都渴求的。除了自甘奴役...
評分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...
評分本书的作者是美国的乔纳森哈尔,记叙的是一个发生在美国波士顿沃伯恩小镇的真实故事。由于水的污染问题使当地居民,尤其是儿童白血病患者的数量开始急剧的增加并且死亡接踵而至。年轻有为的律师施利特曼代表被害家庭开始了一场长达七年的诉讼。 故事的开始并不是那么地吸引我,...
評分下半年入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.
評分“I used to believe in the idea that justice would prevail if you worked hard enough at it. I thought if judges saw cheating right in front of them, they’d do something about it. The Woburn case gave me a depressing dose of reality.” - Charles Nesson
评分4.5。本學期完成的第二本閱讀教材。最後那段真是。。。一個人是要被什麼摧毀的過程中纔有可能意識到存在的真相的。被摧毀而未消亡,就有可能抵達真正的自己。很殘酷。所幸他遊嚮深海之後,最後還是迴來瞭。
评分耗時三周,終於讀完瞭這本書瞭,感情很復雜。我在思考正義到底是什麼,是應該相信直覺還是應該相信“理智”,而善意背後到底是自私還是無私。法律本身不是一個美好或者醜惡的東西,但透過它我能看到世界不同的樣子。所以,帶著這些問題繼續努力尋找答案吧。
评分最後其實沒讀完,為瞭考試,竟然速讀完瞭。結論就是企業 - 每個職工冠冕堂皇社會責任的背後 - 是巨大的力量,在法律界
