Adversarial legalism : the American way of law

Robert A. Kagan (Author)
"American dispute resolution is more adversarial, compared with systems of other economically advanced countries. Americans more often rely on legal threats and lawsuits. American laws are generally more complicated and prescriptive, adjudication more costly, penalties more severe. [This book] examines the origins and consequences of this system."-- Provided by publisher
