From the Bench to the Witness Stand (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781665738330)

When a renowned Puerto Rican surgeon is slapped with a malpractice suit out of nowhere that defies all trustworthy existing scientific knowledge, he must face the absurdity and injustice of all levels of the local courts up to the P.R. Supreme Court, and later advance to Appellate and Supreme Courts of the U.S. He describes his insights into the failures of the system toward common citizens and the backroom deals that define our legal practices: the faulty, highly politicized selection of judges and justices; deficient preparation and evaluation of lawyers and, above all, the perceived absolute immunity and impunity of judges who answer to no one for their failures in applying the law. It is a thought-provoking read that will challenge the notion that the legal system exists to protect the rights of all citizens.
