America and the Law: Challenges for the 21st Century

Howard F. Twiggs, Esq., President, Roscoe Pound Foundation, Former President, Association of Trial Lawyers of America
"I wish I could put a copy of this book in the hands of every American. With remakable clarity, Steve Herman reviews and explains our legal system to those who are its consumers - lay people and lawyers alike. In many respects, this book is the honest instruction manual for the American legal system that no corporation would ever provide for its product."
