Infected Rookpiercing?

in "The lie of the lawyers': Is justice a matter of luck?





law has rarely what it promises. It depends on people, and can make mistakes. How much and how often, Rolf Lamprecht told SPIEGEL as observers at the supreme courts. He tells of arbitrariness, of injustice - and courageous plaintiffs who are driven by their sense of justice, to fight to the highest authorities. An old, but enduring slogan says, everyone was in court and on the high seas in the hands of God. The quote is reminiscent of the irrational forces that are inherent to the law - the resemblance to a game of chance. Alone that it is often from instance instance completely opposite opinions are, demonstrates the relativity of the law. ended as that of a family judge, whose own marriage with a divorce battle - also of interest. Whether it conflicts with the government or by private feuds for paternity tests or for euthanasia is - Lamprecht allows the reader to participate in the production of law. This is so special about this book. It explains why law is only the sum of many partial truths, how is it made - and then passes. And it reveals what judges are able to afford to fail and where they need to.
