Críticas
"By exposing the role of power lawyers and international law firms as the amoral nerve center of everything from the savings-and-loan rip-off to the shadow government of multinational corporations, Ralph Nader and Wesley Smith have given us the good research and deep outrage we need to create social change. I hope this book is read in every law school and by every citizen." --Gloria Steinem
"No Contest is vintage Ralph Nader. He and his co-author Wesley J. Smith are outraged at some of the things going on in some corporate law offices, and they don't hesitate to say so loud and clear."--Sol M. Linowitz, author of The Betrayed Profession: Lawyering at the End of the Twentieth Century "An impassioned plea for reinvigoration of the lawyer's role as an officer of the court and a special kind of public citizen. Would that Nader and Smith can do for professional responsibility what Nader has done for automobile safety!"
--Mary Ann Glendon, author of A Nation Under Lawyers and Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
Reseña del editor
Ask any American, and he or she will tell you our legal system is in crisis. We point to frivolous, greedy lawsuits brought by bickering citizens, an abuse of self-serving appeals, and clogged courtrooms as evidence. But amid all this public hand-wringing, who is actually responsible for our system's perceived failure?
In No Contest, Ralph Nader and Wesley Smith reveal that the true cause of our system's breakdown lies not with the ordinary citizens -- although we must assume responsibility for its reform -- but with wealthy, powerful corporations and their lawyers. With behind-the-scenes detail, human stories, and accurate statistics, the authors reveal how the pursuit of justice has been perverted by corporate lawyers into a struggle for power, influence, and profit.
In this groundbreaking expose, Nader and Smith uncover the appalling abuses of power and unethical practices of corporate lawyers across America. Then they give a commonsense, realistic vision of what the ordinary American can do about it. This is a book for all citizens who believe that legal justice should be protected as one of our most precious rights.
