Man Against Man

MAN AND SOCIETY: CRIMINAL LAW AT WORK -- The first in this series on law by crime writer Richard Deming."This is neither a how-to-save-money-by-being-your-own-lawyer book nor a legal-pitfalls-to-avoid book. Enough of each type already abound. This book is solely intended to explain, in as clear and as interesting terms as I have been able to devise, how civil law works in the United States." --Author's Preface"A businesslike survey likely to be as useful to the adult layman as to students." --The Kirkus Reviews"Understandable, simplified overview of the U.S. system of criminal law." --ALA Booklist
