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.
Jonathan Harr lives and works in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he has taught nonfiction writing at Smith College. He is a former staff writer at New England Monthly and has written for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine.
Harr spent nine years researching and writing A Civil Action, which was published in 1995, subsequently nominated for a National Book Award, and awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award.
fascinating, obssed by it the whole weekend, can't put it down..
評分"The truth?" Facher said, smiling, one day after court. "The truth is at the bottom of a bottomless pit." Jonathan,Harr. A Civil Action. New York:Random House,1995. 340
評分What's the price to pay for believing in and holding onto the truth that might not ever be uncovered? I see part of me in Schlichtmann and the empathy gets me stressed out as the case develops and turns. Is to be a trial lawyer only a remote dream for me?
評分最後其實沒讀完,為瞭考試,竟然速讀完瞭。結論就是企業 - 每個職工冠冕堂皇社會責任的背後 - 是巨大的力量,在法律界
評分4.5。本學期完成的第二本閱讀教材。最後那段真是。。。一個人是要被什麼摧毀的過程中纔有可能意識到存在的真相的。被摧毀而未消亡,就有可能抵達真正的自己。很殘酷。所幸他遊嚮深海之後,最後還是迴來瞭。
最近地下水污染的新闻很多,把自己写的这篇旧文翻出来又看了一下。事情总在不断地循环发生中... A Civil Action 是一本Civil Right案例纪要,主要围绕80年代的一个著名案例:两座公司生产中的化学废料污染了波士顿附近一个村镇的水源,饮用该水源的居民(尤其是幼儿)纷纷得...
評分书看完的一些感受: 1、在法律保障基本人权方面,我们与美国还差50年的距离。1970年代的美国民事诉讼,原被告的证人都可以在人身安全得到保障的前提下、没有负担地参与诉讼,在法院工作人员的见证下,接受双方询问,以期尽可能接近事实真相,不会被对方威胁、不用担心被报复。...
評分时光如水。最近在看乔纳森·哈尔的非虚构作品《漫长的诉讼》(A Civil Action),感慨良多!程序正义、实质正义和人性的激情四射之碰撞,在这看似冗长、琐碎的大企业污染环境造成的人身伤害案的司法审判进程中,渐渐浮现出来… 司法公正,是绝大多数民众都渴求的。除了自甘奴役...
評分 評分下半年入P大国际法学院,这本是导师推荐的入学前需要读完的第一本书,算是对美国法律体系是怎么运作的初步印象吧,导师强调的还是解决问题的思维而不是法律条文。另外的一本的是To Kill A Mockingbird.
