Average Rating: Rating: - The Case Against Lawyers This is the best book I have ever read. This is what the personal injury attorneys running for political office like Sen John Edwards don't want you to see. This book outlines how personal injury attorneys are sucking the lifeblood out of society. In a very articulate way, Ms Crier a former judge explains how litigation out of control in this country could lead to the same conclusion as what Rome encountered at the height of its empire. She asserts how personal injury attorneys are raping society mostly for personal gain. She explains how every multimillion dollar award is being paid for by you and me. She also explains how unless we have a complete overhaul of our legal system which is a euphemism for major tort reform our country in my opinion is destined to become a third world nation. Our country's competitiveness in the world's business markets is being hurt by the legal surcharges that are added to the cost of every product. The release of her book is very appropriate atatime when corporations like McDonald's are being sued by obese customers and doctors are leaving the practice of medicine because of frivolous lawsuits. I strongly recomend the book to businessmen, medical professionals, scholars and anyone who cares about the future of America! Rating: - Highly recommended As a lawyer, district attorney, and then judge, Catherine Crier got to know the ins and outs of how the American judicial process really worked. Forget what you learned in civics class, what Ms. Crier saw was that the American judicial process works poorly, too often to the detriment of the whole country. In this book, she sets out her case that the American legal system is broken, and is seriously in need of repair. As with many Americans, I watched in dismay as people won multi-million dollar punitive awards, often on the very strangest flights of logic. My wife worked at a school where parents learned to show up for parent-teacher meetings with a lawyer! Overall, it might be argued that Ms. Crier is overstating her case, but she makes an excellent argument, one that should be taken seriously. She exposes abusers of the system from trial lawyers to corporate lobbyist, showing that neither political party can avoid blame for the mess we are currently in. If you are interested in reading about the American judicial system, or want to read about a debate that is sure to increase in the near future, then I highly recommend that you get this book. Rating: - Finally the word is out! Thank you Catherine Crier! Finally someone has brought to public attention the problems with the American court system and Lawyers today! Much of what Ms. Crier has written has been on the minds of many - but finally it has been put into language that both legal and non-legal people can both understand. It is very important to me that the source of information like this be credible. Crier is a well respected journalist - who comes from a legal background (having been both a lawyer and judge). She is knowledgeable and involved in everything she writes about - which to me gives her every authority to discuss this freely. This is definitely a book that could help change the world for the better. Highly recommended.
