REVIEWS OF WHY LAWYERS LIE
In attempting to introduce the principles of community into the practice of law in our ever increasingly adversarial society, Mark Perlmutter is a courageous prophet and a man of healing. His vision is deperately needed.
- M. Scott Peck, M.D., Best-selling author of The Road Less Traveled
I greatly enjoyed Why Lawyers Lie…I fully embrace [the] view that the need for cooperative behavior, based on trust, is a superior alternative to win-lose adversarial relationships.
- Mark G. Yudof, Chancellor of the University of Texas System and Former Dean of the University of Texas School of Law
