Time recommends Life Without Lawyers to its readers
Time recommends Life Without Lawyers, writing that it “is a withering critique not of lawyers, but of us: a nation paralyzed by fear, unwilling to assume responsibility, both overly reliant on authority and distrustful of it.” “Law,” the review continues, “is wielded as a weapon of intimidation rather than as an instrument of protection—a problem George Will found significant enough to label Life Without Lawyers as ‘2009’s most needed book on public affairs.’”
