About This Item
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2002. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good in very good dust jacket. Highlighting/underlining. Ink underlining and marginal marks noted. Corners of several pages creased.. x, 267 p. Notes. Index. This is one of the California Series in Law, Politics, and Society. Denunciations of the US "litigation explosion" has become a familiar theme. Commentators attribute America's litigious public policy style to the explosion of lawyers. Burke shows how these explanations are mistaken! There are NOT more lawsuits in the US compared to other countries, however it IS easier to bring a case to court in the US. What the author describes in this book is a nation not of litigious citizens, but of litigious policies-laws that promote the use of litigation in resolving disputes and implementing public policies. This book is a cogent account of how such policies have come to shape public life and everyday practice.
