Leth reviewed Usual Cruelty by Alec Karakatsanis
Essential for Lawyers
5 stars
This book was electric. One point—the legal culture's orthodoxy pressures lawyers to go along with abject cruelty—broken down with an incredible zeal. I will be revisiting this book regularly, I think.
I think this is the new book I will share when people respond to my criticism of the law with reservations based in what the law CLAIMS to be rather than what it is. The law is about power. Therefore, it does not need to be consistent.
