Myth of Moral Justice

<p>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.</p><p>In <strong>The Myth of Moral Justice</strong> law professor and novelist <strong>Thane Rosenbaum</strong> 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 <strong>Rosenbaum</strong> 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.</p>
