The American legal system is far from perfect. High standards of
fairness and equal justice for all are lacking, and conflicts of
interest are an integral part of the system 's practitioners. In
Law Street, author Wim J.M. Touw discusses the ills of the American
legal system and investigates the roots of its dysfunction.
In his analysis Touw argues that American lawyers have lost
their moral and ethical moorings; he provides a unique perspective
of how American lawyers have manipulated the British common law
system for their own financial benefit or to advance their careers.
He compares the legal system of the United States with systems in
the world 's foremost democracies to illustrate how American
jurisprudence has strayed from its mission. Finally, he examines
the criminal law system that puts innocent people in jail and
explains in detail how the tort system, the contingency fee, and
the loser pays laws have turned the once noble profession of
lawyering into a profitable, unregulated business corrupting the
legal process. Touw argues that what is good for Wall Street is
good for Law Street and explains why American bar associations do
not provide proper oversight.
With thorough explanations and examples, Law Street tells a
story about serious flaws in the American legal system and provides
a wake-up call for America 's dysfunctional and often corrupt legal
system.
