Nov 4 | The Myth of Moral Justice: Why Our Legal System Fails to Do What's Right
American culture is obsessed with the law, the legal system and lawyers. Yet most people report that they don’t trust lawyers and hold them and the legal system in very low esteem. Why is this?
Attorney and novelist Thane Rosenbaum proposes solutions in his new book The Myth of Moral Justice. He discovers a legal system with definitions of justice very much at odds with citizens’ expectations that the law will do the right thing.
Rosenbaum teaches at Fordham Law School. 6:30pm, November 4 in White Hall 208. Sponsored by the Center for Ethics with co-sponsorship from the Pre-Law Society and Mock Trial.
