Fulcrum Inc.,US Rebuilding Justice: Civil Courts in Jeopardy and
Book SynopsisOver the past several decades, the civil justice process has become alarmingly expensive, politicized, and lengthy. Though the court system lies at the heart of American democracy, it often does not meet the legitimate needs of the people, resulting in a rift between citizens and their own legal system. With a system that hasn't seen major reform since 1938, it's inevitable that there are shortcomings and misunderstandings. The situation is precarious, but not hopeless. In Rebuilding Justice, Rebecca Love Kourlis and Dirk Olin illuminate why the courts are critical and how they are being eroded, defaced, and undermined. While covering complex issues such as civil justice reform, judicial selection and performance evaluation, and domestic relations, Kourlis and Olin propose practical solutions to improve the efficiency, accessibility, and integrity of America's civil courts. An important portrait of the American judicial system, Rebuilding Justice is a call to action for all Americans to take the steps necessary to fix, support, and protect this crucial cornerstone of our democracy.Trade Review"There is, in my experience, an increasing mistrust of the judiciary and courts... I think this really is fixable. I think the civil justice process could be fixed to somesignificant extent in the next five to 10 years, says Kourlis." — "Author believes American justice system is broken but fixable," December 22, 2011, by Bill Mears, CNN Supreme Court Producer.

A fascinating anthology." —Maclean's Magazine"I was delighted that someone finally had the courage to tell the truth: that Pierre Trudeau and Marc Lalonde both lied to me about why the War Measures Act was imposed—but it took 40 years before the facts were published. This is a compelling and essential book." —Peter C. Newman, Canadian journalist"This anthology presents the experiences [of many] opposed to the controversial decision of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to impose draconian war powers during peacetime in 1970. . . . Trudeau invoked the War Measures Act, suspending civil rights and due process, resulting in hundreds of arrests . . . and thousands of late night searches of private homes and citizens." —Book News Inc.
