The Shame Of Our Adversarial Legal System David Thomson I share Jeffrey Rosen's anger over the victimization of Lawrence Lessig. The Harvard University Law scholar's humorous and casual remarks about the software giant were unethically taken out of context. This resulted in forcing Lessig to resign his post as the Microsoft "special master." It is, however, an earlier incident ignored by Rosen that requires our current attention. During the murder trial of O.J. Simpson, Detective Mark Furhman was viciously attacked for using the ". Jurisprudence and sociology of privacy Gderf After reading Rosen's bio of Louis Brandeis, this one was a bit of a disappointment, mixing a professional view of jurisprudence with a lot of amateur sociology. That may be reflective of the privacy topic. It doesn't seem that the SC or any government agency is doing any better. The book starts with the Brandeis-Warren paper defining privacy as the right to be left alone. We have not seen much progress since. Sexual harassment is hard to define and easy to spin, privacy in c. L. Feld said Privacy under siege in a modern day "Panopticon". Let me get my two main criticisms of Rosen's book out of the way first: 1) I am not a legal scholar (or a lawyer), and found the book to be a little too technical, even somewhat tedious at times, although it is basically well written and even impassioned; and "Privacy under siege in a modern day "Panopticon"" according to L.

Yet the book remains entirely open to lay readers, especially when Rosen delivers his impassioned apologies for privacy: "There are dangers to pathological lying, but there are also dangers to pathological truth-telling. George Washington University law professor Jeffrey Rosen offers a vigorous defense of privacy in this book inspired by "the constitutional, legal, and political drama that culminated in the impeachment and acquittal of President Bill Clinton." He is particularly piqued at Ken Starr's investigation of Monica Lewinsky's private life, including her book-buying habits and the love letters she stored on her computer but never sent. Privacy is a form of opacity, and opacity has its values. Miller. We need more shades and more blinds and more virtual curtains. "In such a world, it is easy for individuals to be victimized by the reductionist fallacy that the worst truth about them is also the most important truth." Rosen has two o
