A Matter of Principle - Paperback

by James Starke (Author)

An idealist confronts the cynicism of his less chivalrous law school classmates as he jousts forward, where his views about the law as an instrument of social justice are greeted with scorn and ridicule among his peers - and at the highest levels of an increasingly politicized judicial system.

In an increasingly divided country, rather than rise above the fray and interpret the law as they find it, A Matter of Principle shows how judges are jousting just like everyone else, locked in mortal combat against what they perceive to be an unprincipled enemy - an enemy whose ideas are unworthy of thoughtful consideration, espoused by combatants driven by less than chivalrous ideals.
