We are obsessed with watching television shows and feature films
about lawyers, reading legal thrillers, and following real-life
trials. Yet, at the same time, most of us don't trust lawyers and
hold them and the legal system in very low esteem.
In The Myth of Moral Justice, law professor and novelist Thane
Rosenbaum suggests that this paradox stems from the fact that
citizens and the courts are at odds when it comes to their
definitions of justice. With a lawyer's expertise and a novelist's
sensability, Rosenbaum tackles complicated philosophical questions
about our longing for moral justice. He also takes a critical look
at what our legal system does to the spirits of those who must come
before the law, along with those who practice within it.
