Once a corporate lawyer, the author now devotes his time to representing "the little guy" against corporate giants. Based on his 35 years of experience as a trial lawyer, he discusses problems in the criminal justice system that he feels are too often ignored. He attacks various forces that he perceives have conspired against justice and that have turned justice from a cherished ideal into an abused commodity. The first part of the book covers problems in the criminal justice system that encompass lawyers, law students and law schools, juries, judges, trial proceedings, labor, insurance, and corporate crime. The second part proposes solutions that focus on new courtroom procedures, redefining individual rights in the workplace, improved judge selection methods, and improved ways of selecting and training lawyers. 333 endnotes.
