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 with 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. The author describes his entry into one of the world's most prestigious law schools, receiving a controversial legal education, hesitating at every turning point in his life, making choices between different values, honestly revealing his inner doubts to readers, and seriously criticizing the blind spots and flaws of modern American legal education.
