Synopsis
Examining how the law thinks and works, and the demands it makes on lawyers, this book sets out to trace a breakdown in the judicial and legal systems. It addresses questions such as why society has become so litigiously-minded, whether society has lost track of the purpose of the law and the true function of lawyers, and what happens when a lawyer's personal values differ from those of the law. The American author, a former lawyer, is a psychotherapist who specializes in counselling members of the legal profession.
