Tanay provides a 'behind-the-scenes' view of our criminal justice system and clear examples of the rampant injustice that he has witnessed. He argues that the potential for injustice is built into our legal system in the form of incompetent lawyers, the imbalance of resources between the pricey defense lawyers hired by large corporations in civil trials and the inexperienced lawyers often hired by plaintiffs, and the political concerns of elected judges and prosecutors.Criminal justice, Administration ofUnited StatesForensic psychiatryUnited StatesForensic psychiatristsUnited StatesElectronic books.Criminal justice, Administration ofForensic psychiatryForensic psychiatrists345.73/05Tanay Emanuel906652Simon Robert I623517MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459276603321American legal injustice2027796UNINA
