Thomas Geoghegan is a labor lawyer in Chicago and recently authored In America's Court.
"An original and outrageous thinker . . . It's a 142-page
paperback--a quick, fun read, which Geoghegan himself calls a
'pamphlet, ' but that doesn't do the book justice, unless he means
to compare it to pamphlets like Tom Paine's Common Sense.
Geoghegan's book is intended merely to shake you up. And, boy, does
it succeed."--Henry Cohen "The Federal Lawyer" (1/1/2006 12:00:00
AM)
"Tossing out ideas like a agent provocateur of the intellect, Mr.
Geoghegan dares you to disagree with him. The result, despite the
fact that many of the problems he raises may well be intractable,
is great mental stimulation. . . . The Law in Shambles is replete
with . . . passages that make you want to pull a reference book
down from the shelf to see for yourself if the author is right and
you yourself (god forbid) are wrong. That's one of the main reasons
why this book is so much fun to read. . . . You may not agree with
all Tom Geoghegan's opinions . . . but I suspect you'll enjoy the
mental arm-wrestling. This is the kind of book that you find
yourself going back to, over and over."--John Greenya "Washington
Times" (4/9/2006 12:00:00 AM)
