Law and Justice in Everyday Life: Featuring the Cool Justice Columns of Law Tribune Newspapers

Law And Justice In Everyday Life features tales about ordinary citizens as they encounter the justice system, with an introduction by the historian Howard Zinn. The 254-page book begins with an examination of the cover-up of a hit-and-run death in New London, Ct., followed by unsolved murders in Stamford and Darien in which police know the prime suspects. A prediction on the performance of Michael Skakel in the Martha Moxley murder trial highlights another chapter. A chapter entitled "The Politics Of Justice" features columns from Law Tribune Newspapers that led the state Judicial Department to cancel its subscriptions to the Connecticut Law Tribune. These headlines include: Free The Oppressed, Exploited Judges, All Rise For Judge Bobby Knight and The Bench Protection Association. Government misconduct in Boston, Washington, Oklahoma is examined throughout the book’s 12 chapters. A chapter on Civil Rights And Freedom Of Speech recounts the heroic struggles of librarians, students, gay parents and whistleblowers as they aspire to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Honest and talented police officers and prosecutors tell their stories in chapters entitled On The Job, For The People and Cops And Perps.
