Reviews

This book is delightfully written and offers a fresh perspective to the mediation/litigation debate among scholars in law and society. - Elizabeth A. Hoffman, Associate Professor of Sociology, Purdue University This is a lively, well-written, informative study of an important issue. If our nose is out of joint, should we sue the other guy? Probably not. Litigation is inherently uncivil; Miss Manners doesn't dig deeply enough; [Stephen] Carter may be too piously Christian; and [M. Scott] Peck's 'groups' [A World Waiting to Be Born] don't have staying power. So what works? Nothing works. But we should be civil, because it's a good way to be. I think this is an excellent book that will be a great help to a large number of people. - Leroy Rouner, Director of the Institute for Philosophy and Religion, Boston University; editor of Civility and author of To Be at Home: Christianity, Civil Religion, and World Community
