Description | The legal rights of Americans are threatened as never before. In No Contest, Ralph Nader and Wesley J. Smith reveal how power lawyers -- Kenneth Starr perhaps the most notorious among them -- misuse and manipulate the law at the expense of fairness and equity. Nader and Smith document how corporate lawyers
* File baseless lawsuits
* Use court secrecy to their unfair advantage
* Engage in billing fraud
Nader and Smith sound the warning that this system-wide abuse is eroding our basic legal rights, and propose a positive, commonsense vision of what should be done to reverse the corporate-inspired corruption of civil justice. Timely, incisive, and highly readable, this is a book for all citizens who believe that prompt access to justice is the backbone of democracy, and a precious right to be reclaimed. |
