Reviews

An excellent and accessible book by a distinguished lawyer and scholar, The Death of the American Trial makes a persuasive plea on behalf of the fading American trial, which is so much a part of our imagined world that we can hardly conceive of its disappearance. Robert Burns's statement of what we stand to lose if this institution disappears is powerful and moving. This book should start the sort of conversation about the trial that ought to take place among lawyers and any others concerned about the state of justice in our culture. - James Boyd White, author of Living Speech: Resisting the Empire of Force
