Yet, at the same time, most of us don't trust lawyers and hold them and the legal system in very low esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003eThe Myth of Moral Justice\u003c\/strong\u003e, law professor and novelist \u003cstrong\u003eThane Rosenbaum\u003c\/strong\u003e suggests that this paradox stems from the fact that citizens and the courts are at odds when it comes to their definitions of justice. With a lawyer's expertise and a novelist's sensability, \u003cstrong\u003eRosenbaum\u003c\/strong\u003e tackles complicated philosophical questions about our longing for moral justice. He also takes a critical look at what our legal system does to the spirits of those who must come before the law, along with those who practice within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thane Rosenbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060735241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRosenbaum, Thane:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThane Rosenbaum teaches courses in human rights, legal humanities, and law and literature at Fordham Law School.
