In No Contest, Ralph Nader and Wesley Smith reveal that the true cause of our system's breakdown lies not with the ordinary citizens -- although we must assume responsibility for its reform -- but with wealthy, powerful corporations and their lawyers. With behind-the-scenes detail, human stories, and accurate statistics, the authors reveal how the pursuit of justice has been perverted by corporate lawyers into a struggle for power, influence, and profit.

In this groundbreaking expose, Nader and Smith uncover the appalling abuses of power and unethical practices of corporate lawyers across America. Then they give a commonsense, realistic vision of what the ordinary American can do about it. This is a book for all citizens who believe that legal justice should be protected as one of our most precious rights.
