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.

评分是本好书,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...
The most intriguing and compelling litigation story I have ever read. 整个感恩节都在读的一本书,也是各大法学院的必读,没读过简直不好意思说自己pre-law。在法庭上无法获得的正义,让全社会,让历史来重新审判。
评分算个杯具故事,但是写得有点像Capote的风格,挺喜欢
评分Civ Pro required reading
评分漫长的诉讼
评分最后其实没读完,为了考试,竟然速读完了。结论就是企业 - 每个职工冠冕堂皇社会责任的背后 - 是巨大的力量,在法律界
