Download or read book Torts R Us A Legal Farce written by T. C. Morrison and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick A. Peters (“Pap”) and his twin brother Prescott U. Peters (“Pup”) are lawyers with a distinctive eye for opportunity. Pap convinces Pup who is a good lawyer despite having gone to Yale Law School that they should leave their respective big-firm practices in New York City to start up a hopefully lucrative practice as plaintiffs' class action lawyers. The brothers meet a variety of clients, judges, and lawyers as they embark on a resourceful and unique approach to lawyer-client relationships all inspired by actual court cases. Written with humor and parlance that only comes from a depth of legal experience, Morrison captures the trials and tribulations of human behavior that strike a chord with every reader. “The first thing we do, let’s pay all the lawyers.” —William Shakespeare “Ask not what your lawyer can do for you but rather what you can do for your lawyer.” — John F. Kennedy “What’s wrong with cake?” —Marie Antoinette “To put it bluntly, our services are designed to bring fear, terror and the threat of bankruptcy to all who come in contact with them.” —Patrick A. Peters III, Partner “P.S. We noticed that your client’s most recent 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission appears to have substantially overstated the company’s third quarter earnings. In an era where virtually every corporate misstep leads to a class action lawsuit, this misstatement could prove troublesome.” A graduate of Otterbein University (Ohio) and New York University Law School, T. C. Morrison spent his 50-year legal career writing briefs and trying cases around the country for a series of New York City law firms.
Download or read book Recognizing Wrongs written by John C. P. Goldberg and published by Belknap Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recognizing Wrongs is about tort law, also commonly known as "personal injury law." The book's central thesis is that tort law fulfills a basic obligation that government owes to each of us: to provide law that defines and proscribes a special class of wrongs - wrongs that involve one person mistreating another - and to provide a means for victims of such wrongs to obtain redress from those who have wronged them. This book aims to recover the traditional understanding of tort law by helping readers to recognize what it is all about. It does so by offering a systematic statement of a theory now known in academic circles as "civil recourse theory." In providing a comprehensive statement of that theory, the book aims to unseat both the leading philosophical theory of tort law - corrective justice theory, as put forward by Jules Coleman, John Gardner, Arthur Ripstein, Ernest Weinrib, and others - as well as the economic approach favored by scholars such as Guido Calabresi and Richard Posner"--
