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.
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...

評分some understanding of US civil procedure would help.
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.
Easy to read and attractive,but the end is quite gloomy.
评分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。
评分漫長的訴訟
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?
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
