| book description |

Americans have long been identified as a people of law and lawyers with an addiction to lawsuits. In Litigation Nation, Peter Charles Hoffer, one of Americaâ€™s most preeminent legal historians, charts the history of civil litigation from the seventeenth century to the present, using key cases pursued by ordinary people to illustrate how the civil courts have been a battlefront to contest the boundaries of permissible personal conduct in times of social and political change. Using representative case studies from each periodâ€”from defamation suits in seventeenth-century America to recent civil rights and gender discrimination lawsuits, Hofferâ€™s concise and accessible history shows how litigation reflects the lives and values of ordinary Americans.
