George tackles one of the most vexing issues dividing Americans today. He argues that the \"Age of Faith\" of the Medieval period and the \"Age of Reason\" of the European Enlightenments have been followed by a modern \"Age of Feeling,\" in which people derive their beliefs not from faith or reason--or faith \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e reason--but from emotion, which becomes the central source of truth. And so, many have embraced a fierce moral absolutism on the basis of beliefs that are the products of nothing more than subjective inclinations and experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays challenges the \"Age of Feeling\" by appealing to reason in the pursuit of sound moral understanding on crucial and contentious topics of human dignity, the definition of marriage, philosophy of law, constitutional law, the nature of civil liberties, free markets, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert George has taught generations of students at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and he has long proclaimed that a teacher's sacred mission is to form his students to be determined truth seekers and courageous truth speakers.

Too often, it delivers inequality. This contradiction raises a basic question: Why does a legal system that claims to stand for fairness and equality fail to uphold these ideals over and over?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLaw on Trial\u003c\/em\u003e, legal scholar and Bronx native Shaun Ossei-Owusu draws on more than a decade of observation and reflection--first as a scholar of inequality, then as a law student, practicing lawyer, and now as an Ivy League law professor--to provide an unvarnished account of the legal system. He reveals that the promise of justice is too often a convenient fiction invoked by lawyers, recited by textbooks, and betrayed in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStreet crime gets the fist of the state; white-collar crime gets a gentle hand. Laws meant to protect women and minorities are increasingly turned against them. Immigrants face the law with only the thinnest protections, while the rights of people with disabilities are routinely ignored. And, most quietly, lawyer-driven corporate deals shutter small-town hospitals, deepening America's abandonment of the rural poor. These are not aberrations, but simply how law works in this country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this legal odyssey, Ossei-Owusu takes us inside law school classrooms where human suffering is reduced to abstract principles. He brings us to government offices where protecting cities can mean crushing the vulnerable. We go to Big Law conference rooms where power is exercised far from the communities most affected. At every step, he pulls back the curtain on legal education and the legal profession, creating a revelatory, unforgettable account of a system that touches all of us, in one way or another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book for nonlawyers, law students, and practicing lawyers alike, \u003cem\u003eLaw on Trial\u003c\/em\u003e explains how a legal system dedicated to fairness is behind many of the social ills of our time, and shows how it can be fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1324091266\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781324091264\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Ossei-Owusu, Shaun\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: W.
