This work argues that the failure of the US judicial system is judges who are too lenient, who fail to protect children and battered spouses, and allow the abuse of the civil justice system, especially in liability cases that ruin businesses and deprive the public of valuable goods and services.

This hardhitting book reminds us of an obvious but often overlooked reason for the failure of our judicial system: judges. Max Boot talks about the problem of judges who are too lenient; discusses the failure of judges to protect children and battered spouses; and explores the abuse of the civil justice system, especially in liability cases that ruin businesses and deprive the public of valuable goods and services.
