Chargement... Préjudice (1995)par Jonathan Harr
   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   dgmathis | Mar 17, 2023 |  There are two things I wonder: 1) Why did Schlictmann let his "lead counsel" out so easily; and 2) why the environmental movement did not help. The "devils advocate" question for me is whether the people with Woburn are better off with their legal victory, and the polluting plants shuttered. That question makes me wonder. (  ) JBGUSA | Jan 2, 2023 |  ) lkubed | Oct 8, 2022 | A fast-paced non-fiction, that I had trouble putting down. In the 1980's 2 corporate giants are accused of poisoning the water supply of a Massachusetts town. A small Boston firm takes on the case, and the lives of everyone involved are never the same. Harr wrote this book as the case began taking shape and thus his research is impeccable. The book reads, like a well crafted thriller. Thoroughly enjoyed.

"The legal thriller of the decade." â??Cleveland Plain Dealer Described as â??a page-turner filled with greed, duplicity, heartache, and bare-knuckle legal brinksmanship" by The New York Times, A Civil Action is the searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awryâ??one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice. Yet it is also the story of how one man can ultimately make a difference. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity.
