Summary: An Offer of Truth
Review: Besides being a good story, this novel has an important message about the legal process in civil actions. One cannot assume a judge is unbiased or that witnesses will tell the truth. This book, though not entirely believable, shows what could happen, especially when very large sums of money are at stake. If more citizens were aware of the limitations of the justice system and the ease with which a court can influence the outcome of a case, it might be a first step in getting better judges and higher standards overall in civil cases. Worth reading for the story and the message.

Summary: The Author's Thoughts
Review: Of course I am somewhat prejudice, but I would judge what I've written as a delightful vindication of what most people think of when they hear the words "trial lawyer." After thirty years before the bar I asked myself what our great legal institutions might do if they actually were faced with the prospect of bringing unquestioned truth to the courtroom. We live in an age where science can weigh a photon with accruacy. Is it so much to believe that soon we will have a device that will perfectly judge truth in court? Truth without human judgement. Of what use is artful counsel in the face of perfect truth? I hope you find the answer delightful. I had fun writing it. I am a romantic and thought that only love could save a lawyer from his own kind. So there's a love story here too.

Summary: Good Read and Thought Provoking
Review: This is an enjoyable story while at the same time providing insight into the legal profession, including average personal injury attorneys and whether Courts really want the truth and how new technology could come into play in the future. If you're getting tired of all the Grisham books, try something new.
