Jonathan Harr: A Civil Action
Saturday, October 21 4:00 - 5:30 PM
Promenade Hall/Overture, Madison
Can lawsuits uncover the truth? What happens when the power and resources of the parties at odds are disproportionate? Jonathan Harr's compelling, true story in A Civil Action recounts the case constructed by a young personal injury lawyer on behalf of working class families of Woburn, Massachusetts. The book, now used as part of many law school curricula, reveals the messy, human way that justice is wrought. The author will read from this A More Perfect Union: To Establish Justice discussion series selection, take questions from the audience, and be available after the event for book signing. Madison's own Mayor Dave Cieslewicz will introduce Mr. Harr.
