Book excerpt: Taking Back the Courts A Flawed Justice System Exposed by One of America's Most Controversial and Successful Trial Lawyers, Norm Pattis, with a Forward and Preface by two other legal icons: F. Lee Bailey and Gerry Spence. In Taking Back the Courts Norm Pattis delivers a searing and keenly intelligent critique of America's justice system; an insider's account that takes no prisoners while offering many insightful and necessary remedies. Pattis blows the whistle on many of the system's maladies including: deceptive profiteering experts for hire, police-extorted confessions, morally bereft backroom plea bargaining, the demise of the jury, the sexophrenia that has addled the brains of legislators and judges packing our prisons with people far from evil and many more. Trial attorney Pattis is a provocative social philosopher writing with a pen warmed in Hell, but his case against the courts is unwaveringly wise, sober, principled, balanced and compulsively readable.
