Thomas Geoghegan, whom \u003ci\u003eTime \u003c\/i\u003ecalled \"a modern-day Quixote of the legal profession,\" thinks not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this impassioned rebuttal to Philip K. Howard's \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Common Sense\u003c\/i\u003e, Geoghegan deftly shows how conservatives' dismantling of America's postwar legal system opened the floodgates of litigation. Most often people sue, he argues, because of what they have lost—contract rights, pensions, health insurance, decent medical care, and strong unions. Without these methods of preempting and resolving disputes, Americans who face injury, bankruptcy, discrimination, or injustice are left with no recourse but the lawsuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth smart and provocative, \u003ci\u003eSee You in Court \u003c\/i\u003eshows why the right is wrong about the source of our lawsuit culture and points the way back to civil society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thomas Geoghegan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284378366203,"sku":"9781595580993","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8578344d-0d74-44ca-a4bf-a937f028100f.jpg?v=1771411158","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/see-you-in-court-9781595580993","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
