    In the context of China's cancer villages, smog, masked land pollution and water pollution, etc., it may have real practical significance to rewatch this film. I heard that it was based on a novel. Which publisher with conscience would dare to introduce this...

    The charm of the original book is that its rich details make it very easy to bring yourself into the story. Even knowing the ending will not affect the charm of the story at all, because there are too many things that may happen before the ending is reached. But the movie loses this charm because of its limited length. For example, the battle of Rule 11 motion failed to show one percent of the wonderful book in the movie, and for example, the various arrangements during the settlement...

    Professional ethics and justice for lawyers

    1998 old movie.

    Rather than calling it an environmental-themed film, consider it a legal-themed film. Environmental protection is only a role player in that controversy in this story.

    The story is based on a true story. In the 1880s, EAST WOBURN, Massachusetts, had 8 children die of blood cancer in...

    Viewing Western Litigation from the Jury System

    A system for generating jurors from citizens to participate in court trials. It originated in Athens and Rome, a slave-holding country, and was inherited by a few feudal countries in Europe in the Middle Ages, and prevailed in modern Western society. After the victory of the British bourgeois...

A Civil Action quotes

  • Jan Schlichtmann: [siting in Skinner's chambers with William, Jerome present] This is the defendant's plan!

    Judge Walter J. Skinner: No, it's my plan!

    Jan Schlichtmann: It's Facher's plan, right from the beginning!

    Judge Walter J. Skinner: It's my plan.

    Jan Schlichtmann: [pointing at Jerome] He told me, he threatned me.

    Judge Walter J. Skinner: IT'S MY PLAN!

  • Jan Schlichtmann: Do me a favour, Gordon, will you? Shut up.

    James Gordon: [lying on the floor, from the majority of their furniture taken away for failure to pay their bills on time and in full] What?

    Jan Schlichtmann: I'm so tired of hearing you moan about money all the time. This isn't about money anymore.

    James Gordon: No?

    Jan Schlichtmann: No.

    James Gordon: What's it about? What's it about, Jan?

    Bill Crowley: Look, let's all...

    James Gordon: [stands up and walks over to Jan] No, I want to know. I want to know why I gave up my house for. My credit! My life! Would you take 10 million dollars right now?

    Jan Schlichtmann: Yes.

    James Gordon: But you won't take eight?

    Jan Schlichtmann: No.

    James Gordon: No. So at 10 million dollars this is some sort of uh... a, a mythic struggle but at eight it's just another lawsuit.

    Jan Schlichtmann: If they're willing to pay eight, Gordon, then it's not enough, is it?

    James Gordon: [sarcastically] Oh, that makes sense!

    Jan Schlichtmann: It makes perfect sense.

    James Gordon: [pacing back and forth] So, the only thing you accept is what they're not willing to give us. Listen to yourself! I for one am sick of listening to you. I've lost enough because of you.

    Jan Schlichtmann: [shouting] You wouldn't have anything to lose it if it wasn't for me. Everything you have I got for you!

    James Gordon: [emptying his pockets and throwing the items on Jan's table] I don't have anything, Jan! What do I have? I've got a couple of bucks and some, some bus transfers. I've got a saving account from when I was 12 years-old. Here! There's 37 dollars in here. With interest, after 25 years there's probably 47 dollars, take it! Add it to the war chest. Use it to fight injustice. Stand up for principles with that. Go down in flames with it for all I care. Only next time, "next time", that's a laugh - ask us if we want to go down with you!
