Americans have long been identified as a people of law and lawyers
with an addiction to lawsuits. This national characteristic became
so prevalent in late twentieth-century America that some legal
authorities dubbed the pattern a “litigation crisis.” In
Litigation Nation: A History of Litigation in America, Peter C.
Hoffer charts the history of civil litigation from the seventeenth
century to the present, using key cases that illustrate the central
theme in civil litigation during different periods of U.S. history
and enable readers to explore and understand key questions in
American life and culture. Hoffer’s concise and accessible
treatment to this history will appeal to general audiences as it
examines both historical and contemporary questions, debates, and
litigation concerning gender, discrimination, harassment, and
workplace culture.
