The Law in Crisis: Bridges of Understanding
Are lawyers and legal systems distancing themselves from the people they serve ? Is the law becoming too expensive, formalistic and remote? Is it losing popular respect?
This book appears at a critical moment in the history of mankind. Civilised society appears to be disintegrating… Moral and spiritual values, too, appear to be at a low ebb. Professor Christopher Weeramantry sees the dangers which beset us: and warns us of them, Most of us lawyers have no time to sit and think upon these things. We deal with one case after another. …This book should serve to bring us to our senses.
Rt. Honourable Lord Denning
