Grace and consumer goods corporation Beatrice Foods, is “given breath” in Steven Zaillian’s, A Civil Action. These companies disposed of their toxic waste materials into the ocean which then seeped into the town’s well, which was their everyday water supply. These chemicals contributed to the rampant cancer deaths of many including innocent children. A Civil Action highlights the power struggle and negotiation process between Jerome Fatcher (Beatrice’s attorney), William Cheeseman (Grace’s attorney) and John Travolta’s character (Jan Schlichtmann, the town’s attorney) in order to get justice and reparation for those affected.…

    Spectral evidence, as defined by the State vs. Dustin court case,refers to “a witness testimony that the accused person's spirit or spectral shape appeared to him/her witness in a dream at the time the accused person's physical body was at another location”. The legal definition of the general term evidence is “information given personally, drawn from a document, or in the form of material objects, tending or used to establish facts in a legal investigation or admissible as testimony in court”. Spectral evidence only fits the primary section of this definition, as it can only be obtained from personal testimony, one of the most unreliable forms of court evidence; it is also only visible to the individual testifying and can be easily acted out as if the courtroom was a playhouse.Spectral evidence was first introduced and admitted…

    In this essay Goodman retaliates at the middle class, constantly trying to become the upper class in a fit of greed lost in a fog. The Company Many is an ironic essay, in which the main character “Phil” represents every American that loses touch with reality in the fog of ambition. Phil is the ideal hardworking man, dedicated to his cause, and all that he believes to be good and just, yet losing all that is real. For Phil’s goals are nothing but ideals.…

    Most of today’s societies hate or strongly resent lawyers who protect the guilty or presumed guilty. They looked at Mickey as the devil, whereas he looked at himself as a greasy angel, (pg. 25). Mickey believes that the law is not about truth as much as it is about negotiation, amelioration and manipulation, (pg. 25). He does believe in the judicial system, but the law allows both parties representation. He believed that every case he took on was a house built on a foundation, poured by overworked and underpaid labors, which cut corners and made mistakes and then covered them up with lies. Mickey felt that it was his job to remove the paint and find the cracks, (technicalities and loopholes), that reduced his client’s sentence, (pg.25).…

    Alan M. Dershowitz’s (1983) legal memoir The Best Defense reveals most lawyers and judges would rather win than expose the truth. As a law professor, Dershowitz (1983) recognized students, journalists, instructors and other non-lawyers were often “outsiders” (“Introduction,” xiii) because they studied, wrote, taught, or read about the law, but they rarely had the opportunity to understand the law from judicial perspectives. On the other hand, as an appellate attorney, Dershowitz understood the law and how it operated within courtrooms, so he was able to reveal the prevalent dishonesty of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and guilty defendants because it is the dishonesty that is usually kept…

    In conclusion, Goodman reveals a general sense of indifference for Phil through the use of emotionally detached details, varying sentence lengths, and simplistic diction with a tinge of negative connotation to summarize Phil’s life. Not only does this story serve as a metaphor for the “company man” of that milieu, but it also shows the detriments of the “work first, family later” mindset that men often…

    Gain Richard Powers

    • 1753 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In Richard Powers’ novel, Gain, he intertwines two fictional stories to analyze the growth of large corporation in America and the deterioration of the individual as a potential result. He tells the story of the rise of a family soap making business, J. Clare and Sons, into a large-scale corporation over a span of 150 years. As a second story line, he incorporates the end of the life of Laura Bodey, a divorced real estate agent with ovarian cancer living in Lacewood, a town centered around the corporation’s headquarters. He makes a unique statement about the increasingly detrimental nature of business as it grows in scale. He never condemns Clare International nor does he overly-victimize any individual character that the corporation effects. He does not tell the story of J. Clare and Sons nor that of Laura Bodey perfectly objectively, but his opinions are subtly placed so that he leaves the reader with the ability to decide for themself whether or not current American businesses do more harm than good. He uses the characters of the two founding members of Clare International as tools to analyze the different elements and theories of capitalism and different motives for gain. He also uses the death of many characters in the novel to analyze the effect that the swelling growth of corporations has on individuals in its path.…
