The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System: A Book Talk

The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System: A Book Talk with Alec Karakatsanis

Alec Karakatsanis’ new book Usual Cruelty provides us with three paradigm-shifting essays that offer a profound reconsideration of the American “injustice” system by someone who is actively, and wildly successfully, challenging it. Karakatsanis explains how the criminal legal system really works and why, and examines the role of individual students and lawyers within the punishment bureaucracy from law schools to court rooms.
