By: Professor Jeffrey B. Simon
About the Book
Last Rights: The Fight to Save the 7th Amendment shines a bright spotlight on a grave but often overlooked effort by large corporate interests to undermine America's civil justice system and consumer rights. Trailblazing Plaintiff's lawyer, Jeffrey B. Simon, wrote this book as a rallying cry for anyone who has ever been wronged by a rigged system of laws. Through riveting tales of real courtroom drama, Simon exposes the insidious influence of corporate greed and political power weaponized to repeal personal rights and weaken public safety. Last Rights is a wake-up call to consumers and lawmakers to take collective, corrective action before restoration of our civil justice system becomes unachievable. This is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of our country, and a call to action for those who believe in justice and fairness.
“At a pivotal moment in American history when we face an assault on our constitutional democracy, my friend Jeffrey B. Simon’s book is an essential read. Beautifully written with erudition and personal stories, Simon underlines the importance of our right to trial by jury in ensuring justice and equality.”
- Matthew Dowd, Senior Political Analyst for MSNBC News
“Jeffrey Simon has written a highly compelling but damning account of the damage that has been done to our rights to a jury in civil trials as guaranteed by the Constitution. The 7th Amendment has been gutted by corporate interests in this country and Simon's book is a timely call to restore it. "
- Senator Russ Feingold, President of the American Constitution Society
"Last Rights is a must read for anyone who cares about public health, protection of personal freedoms, and how they fit together. Simon's book masterfully connects those dots."
- Linda Reinstein, President/CEO, Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO)
