Rennard Strickland & Frank T. Read The Lawyer Myth: A Defense of
the American Legal Profession Swallow Press/Ohio University Press, 2008 KF298.S775 2008 In The Lawyer Myth: A Defense of the American
Legal Profession, the authors look beyond stereotypical
antilawyer media images to explore the historical role of lawyers as a
balancing force in times of social, economic, and political change.
By explaining the facts
and reasoning behind the decisions in such cases as the infamous
McDonald’s coffee spill, the authors describe the operation of the law
while addressing misconceptions about the number of lawsuits, runaway jury
verdicts, and legal “technicalities” that turn criminals out on the
street. The authors also propose several reforms for the bar, the
judiciary, and law schools that will enable lawyers to reach the
profession’s potential.
