Features: Most Harvard Law School students enter determined to change the world, following in the footsteps of "the father of the consumer movement," Ralph Nader and Robert F. Kennedy. But by the time they graduate, they end up at large law firms that have no interest in changing anything. Where does the problem lie? This book attempts to report on the realities of American law. Lawyers should read it, and those who want to become lawyers should read it even more, because this book will completely change your perspective and life. Written from the perspective of a novelist, the author narrates story after story. He was once an insider and a witness, and then became a skilled and persuasive storyteller. He focuses on historical records, so his emotions, insights, and sentiments all fall on the facts, as well as each different special situation. Scene after scene of classroom settings come to life before the reader, as if we are all jurors, judging the evidence.
