Summary:
By the one-time federal prosecutor for the Southern Area of NY, an important summary of just how our justice program works, and why the guideline of law is vital to our culture. Using case histories, personal experiences and his very own inviting writing and teaching style, Preet Bharara shows the thought procedure we have to best accomplish truth and justice in our daily lives and in your society.
Preet Bharara has spent a lot of his lifestyle examining our legal system, pushing to make it better, about Doing Justice: A Prosecutor’s Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Guideline of Laws and prosecuting those looking to subvert it. Bharara believes in our program and understands it must be shielded, but to do so, we must also acknowledge and allow for imperfections in the system and in human nature.
The book is split into four areas: Inquiry, Accusation, Common sense and Punishment. He displays why each stage of this process is crucial towards the legal system, but he also shows how we all have to think about each stage of the process to attain truth and justice inside our daily lives.
Bharara uses anecdotes and case histories from his legal career–the successes as well as the failures–to illustrate the realities of the legal program, and the results of taking actions (and perhaps, not taking actions, which can be just as essential when trying to achieve a simply result).
A lot of what Bharara discusses is certainly inspiring–it provides us hope that rational and objective fact-based considering, combined with compassion, can really lead us on the route toward truth and justice. Some of what he writes about will be controversial and trigger much discussion. Ultimately, it is a thought-provoking, interesting book about the necessity to discover the humanity inside our legal system–and in our culture.
