A book which students of law would do well to take as basic
principle, for here is a human approach to everyday moral issues
met frequently in law. Mr. Cahn takes the rights of individuals,
the moral aspects of cheating on taxes, the effect on character of
many Of the problems encountered in life- marriage, divorce,
suicide, the honesty- and its reverse- in business competition. He
uses actual cases, which adds to its value for practising lawyers,
who will enjoy recognizing parallels in experience. All of which
makes this an excellent book to use with small study groups,
discussion groups, etc. But its main sale will be to law schools,
where his selection of illustrative cases indicates his own skill
as a teacher. Each case has popular and human appeal. In style and
presentation, a better book than Judge Frank's on a similar topic.
Recommend for extra curriculum enjoyment.?? (Kirkus Reviews)
Originally published in 1955, The Moral Decision remains today a
fresh, lively, and literate quest for moral guides in the American
system of law. Each topic is introduced with a real courtroom case
followed by a summary of the uncontroverted facts, the issues
before the court, the judge's opinion, and Edmond Cahn's objective
and penetrating discussion of the ethical issues involved. The
cases chosen operate as prisms, revealing an entire spectrum of
moral forces personal ambitions, group standards, lusts,
sufferings, and ideals. A new foreword by Norman Redlich, Dean of
the New York University School of Law, affirms the value of The
Moral Decision as an authoritative and humane introduction to law
and morality."
