Judging the Lawyers

In "Judging the Lawyers: A Jury-Box View of the Case Against American Lawyers," author Ted Preston discusses the realities of lawyers' practices and their vast benefits to society to make his point that critical but balanced assessment of attorneys and the civil justice system is essential. Using a trial format that balances both sides of the argument, "Judging the Lawyers" is a vehicle for exploring the case for and against lawyers and for examining the causes of the tensions between the bar and the public.

Preston invites you to stand in the position of a juror and gives you the opportunity to actively think through each issue. "Judging the Lawyers" can help you better understand lawyers and their operation of our civil justice system.
