具體描述
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.

讀後感
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...
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Finished it in a hurry, never thought an epic story of this would end in such a strikingly cruel way. I almost found myself losing faith in the whole system in the face of so many lies and so called "injustice". One line impressed me most reads "(for bei...
評分在看虚构写作里面提到了这部，这个奇怪的译名让我好找。 看到三分之一 关于法律知识和实物有点了解，比如律师是如何开展工作的，如何攻击对手的，的确是个吸血，变相敲诈的行当哈哈哈哈，不过也算利益再分配的一种方式吧，特别是伤人赔偿这一环，可能特别有行侠仗义感 写作方面...
評分本书的作者是美国的乔纳森哈尔，记叙的是一个发生在美国波士顿沃伯恩小镇的真实故事。由于水的污染问题使当地居民，尤其是儿童白血病患者的数量开始急剧的增加并且死亡接踵而至。年轻有为的律师施利特曼代表被害家庭开始了一场长达七年的诉讼。 故事的开始并不是那么地吸引我，...
用戶評價
before the law p 468
评分Easy to read and attractive,but the end is quite gloomy.
评分壓抑 就像封麵 有時候覺得他有些自負瞭 朋友和夥伴的忠告一概忽略 為瞭想象中不切實際的勝利 黑著走 書中的一句評論很認同 即或許最開始他是為瞭名利 但是後來他真的是為瞭公益 但反過來想想 任何人對一件事有這麼深刻的瞭解 都很難再以膚淺如名利的原因為繼 知道適可而止 也是很重要的
评分The most intriguing and compelling litigation story I have ever read. 整個感恩節都在讀的一本書，也是各大法學院的必讀，沒讀過簡直不好意思說自己pre-law。在法庭上無法獲得的正義，讓全社會，讓曆史來重新審判。
评分最後其實沒讀完，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
