Beskrivning

An impassioned rebuttle to Howard's The Death of Common Sense', Geoghegan shows how Conservatives' dismantling of the US postwar legal system has opened the floodgates of litigation. Arguing that people sue due to the loss of medical insurance, contracts and unions, and that without these methods of preempting and resolving disputes, American's face injury, bankruptcy, discrimination or injustice - are left with no recourse but to sue.'

"Entertaining . . . breezy. . . . The essential charm of Geoghegan’s writing is his honest, self-deprecatory style." —The Washington Monthly"Good fun . . . [Geoghegan’s] a sharp thinker. . . . See You in Court makes a good case that deregulation has damaged the justice system in many ways." —Chicago Reader
