THE PRICE OF JUSTICE

Narrator Will Damron offers a steady performance of this excellent primer on the flaws that plague the American legal system. Goldfarb does not break much new ground but, nonetheless, offers worthy, compelling summaries of the many issues that too often turn state and federal justice systems into injustice systems, with devastating consequences for individuals and institutions. Goldfarb, citing court decisions, books, and popular movies, writes of "testilying" cops, impoverished legal aid organizations and their well-financed corporate opponents, and underfunded public defenders and resource-rich prosecutors. Damron's low-key narration is evenly paced and unobtrusive but still manages to hold the listener's attention. This is a fine audiobook and may be especially valuable to those new to the issue of judicial reform. G.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
