Description
“At common law, juries decided issues of fact and the stronger case won. Under the inquisitorial mode, a dossier is compiled, and the judge inquires into a kind of truth in a massive judgment. The result resembles a sandpit for the rich and infamous.”
There is a theme common to the five papers in this book—a veteran lawyer’s acute observation that the legal profession has lacked the courage to accept responsibility for its failure to deliver fair and timely justice. His book is about how to practise law in litigation and it should be essential reading not only for those aspiring to the Bar.
