Synopsis: If a person injures you on someone else's property, who should pay the damages? If you find money hidden in old clothes collected by a charity, who gets to keep it? If a person shoots someone but didn't mean to, is he responsible? Using thirteen famous legal cases, Sidney B. Carroll asks the reader to come to his own decision on what is fair. Printed upside down on the following page is the verdict reached by the court. This provocative and original book, illustrated with lively cartoon-style drawings by John Richmond, demonstrates that it is important for the individual to know what he thinks, because our laws are responsive to public opinion, and a legal decision may be changed in the next case like it if a fairer solution can be found.
