Tour de force The book was incredibly persuasive and beautifully written. Litowitz makes it practically untenable to contend that the current American legal system is anything but an immoral game, and he presents reasonable and good faith solutions to the problem. Based on my interaction with attorneys and law students, Lit. "Superbly points out the absurdity of the legal profession" according to B. Mckee.
