Review:
"By exposing the role of power lawyers and international law firms as the amoral nerve center of everything from the savings-and-loan rip-off to the shadow government of multinational corporations, Ralph Nader and Wesley Smith have given us the good research and deep outrage we need to create social change. I hope this book is read in every law school and by every citizen." --Gloria Steinem
"No Contest is vintage Ralph Nader. He and his co-author Wesley J. Smith are outraged at some of the things going on in some corporate law offices, and they don't hesitate to say so loud and clear."
--Sol M. Linowitz, author of The Betrayed Profession: Lawyering at the End of the Twentieth Century
"An impassioned plea for reinvigoration of the lawyer's role as an officer of the court and a special kind of public citizen. Would that Nader and Smith can do for professional responsibility what Nader has done for automobile safety!"
--Mary Ann Glendon, author of A Nation Under Lawyers and Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
