Book Description
===================
A new anthology of science fiction stories that explores what the
future of jurisprudence might well be like, with thrilling, hilarious,
and downright entertaining results. Lawyers-pardon me, attorneys-may
be portrayed in fiction as the good guys (and gals), or as greedy
conniving shysters. In mundane fiction, the former are represented
ably by Earle Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason and by Harper Lee’s
Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. The less favorable view was
expressed by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his SF classic, A Princess of
Mars, in which his doubly immortal John Carter observes that the
Martians are very fortunate in that, while they may behave with savage
cruelty, and are constantly at war, at least they have no lawyers.
Both views of the legal profession have been explored in science
fiction and fantasy since John Carter set foot on the Red Planet, as
well as looking into possible ways that future punishment for crimes
may change, not necessarily for the better. Some of science fiction’s
greatest talents are included in this book, including classics by
Robert A. Heinlein, Larry Niven, Clifford D. Simak, Robert Silverberg,
and more, and newer stories by Sarah A. Hoyt, Alex Shvartsman, and
Alvaro Zinos-Amaros, and still other stellar talents bringing down the
judge’s gavel with a verdict of excellent entertainment.
