现实世界的正义

最近地下水污染的新闻很多，把自己写的这篇旧文翻出来又看了一下。事情总在不断地循环发生中... A Civil Action 是一本Civil Right案例纪要，主要围绕80年代的一个著名案例：两座公司生产中的化学废料污染了波士顿附近一个村镇的水源，饮用该水源的居民（尤其是幼儿）纷纷得... (展开)

真实和正义也会败下阵来

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

据说是美国法学院教材，读完会对美国司法制度有一定了解。 1. 从发现白血病患儿增多到美国环保署宣布地下水被污染执行清理计划，本案历时十年。数位原告家属，证人在案件审判中因癌症去世。原告律师团队花费高达250万美金请专家，学者，医生取证，调研，证据证词多达40多箱，但... (展开)

When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.

是本好书，非常推荐。这本书的开始不太好读，节奏也不快，慢慢地交待背景，介绍人物。但是一旦熬过了开头，故事越到后面越精彩，越发展越快，仿佛一部不断加速奔跑的马车。。。到最后，书在手中完全放不下来，只能挑灯夜战，一口气把它看完。合上书后，在我脑海里徘徊的不... (展开)

漫长的“灵魂邂逅”

时光如水。最近在看乔纳森·哈尔的非虚构作品《漫长的诉讼》（A Civil Action），感慨良多！程序正义、实质正义和人性的激情四射之碰撞，在这看似冗长、琐碎的大企业污染环境造成的人身伤害案的司法审判进程中，渐渐浮现出来… 司法公正，是绝大多数民众都渴求的。除了自甘奴役... (展开)

Rich, famous and doing good

Finished it in a hurry, never thought an epic story of this would end in such a strikingly cruel way. I almost found myself losing faith in the whole system in the face of so many lies and so called "injustice". One line impressed me most reads "(for bei... (展开)

法律不是完美的，科学更不是

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

自如甲醛超标，入住四个月的2岁儿童患上白血病，这个事又上了热搜。我看到很多医生、做科普的都在发声，说没有证据证明甲醛致白血病，不能因为自如甲醛超标就指责是自如害得小孩得白血病。如果是2个月前，我也会去附和，去赞同，因为我相信科学，相信证据。但是前段时间我读... (展开)

下半年入P大国际法学院，这本是导师推荐的入学前需要读完的第一本书,算是对美国法律体系是怎么运作的初步印象吧，导师强调的还是解决问题的思维而不是法律条文。另外的一本的是To Kill A Mockingbird. (展开)

呀！

在看虚构写作里面提到了这部，这个奇怪的译名让我好找。看到三分之一关于法律知识和实物有点了解，比如律师是如何开展工作的，如何攻击对手的，的确是个吸血，变相敲诈的行当哈哈哈哈，不过也算利益再分配的一种方式吧，特别是伤人赔偿这一环，可能特别有行侠仗义感写作方面... (展开)

一些感受

书看完的一些感受： 1、在法律保障基本人权方面，我们与美国还差50年的距离。1970年代的美国民事诉讼，原被告的证人都可以在人身安全得到保障的前提下、没有负担地参与诉讼，在法院工作人员的见证下，接受双方询问，以期尽可能接近事实真相，不会被对方威胁、不用担心被报复。... (展开)
