Opis

Presents a bold and persuasive attack on the delusion that the law is a bastion of predictable and logical action. This controversial thesis is that the decisions made by judge and jury are determined to an enormous extent by powerful, concealed, and highly idiosyncratic psychological prejudices that these decision-makers bring to the courtroom.
