In the book Human Justice by Human and the Lights, the author, who is a human rights lawyer, decides to take on the case of a black old man called Ted Brown. The brief facts of Ted Brown's case are that he was injured by a heavy door that fell on him while working for Good Paper Company. Ted Brown had informed the leaders of Good Paper Company about the faulty door three times, but they didn't take action to fix it. The injuries caused Ted Brown to miss work several times, and there were consequences to this. What do you think are the consequences of Ted Brown missing work? Do you think justice exists in the corporate sector? Do you think Ted Brown's skin colour will affect the way his case is handled within the courts of law? To find out more, please grab yourself a copy of this book.

One of the things I liked about this book is that it exposed the true nature of lawyers, judges, and the whole judicial system. Lawyers and judges don't view cases from a human perspective but see them just as another court file taking up space in the law firm or courthouse that needs to go to trial. This is a very biassed viewpoint, and it leads to injustice. Worst of all, if a case involves a black man and a white man or a big corporation, it will likely be ruled against the black man due to discrimination.

I also liked that the author dug deep into history and exposed the genesis of corporations and how they have always been profit-minded. Corporations have existed for generations and have always been profit-oriented at the expense of workers, mostly blacks and immigrants. It is no surprise that they still hold this as their main principle, and even up to now, they will use every kind of law to avoid liability in any court case because it will cost them millions.

There's nothing I dislike about this book, so I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The book seems to have been well edited, since I encountered no errors while reading it. I recommend this book to law practitioners and anyone interested in learning more about the judicial system, because that's what it entails. If you also love books about the corporate sector, then this book is for you because it will help you learn how the corporate sector handles court cases filed against them.

It doesn’t seem like the system works well for everyone. I guess that lots of these decisions are biased. I have always tried to believe that the judicial system treated everyone the same, but apparently that is just wishful thinking. Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this review of "Human Justice" by Human and the Lights. The author's perspective as a human rights lawyer sheds light on the biases within the judicial system. It is alarming to discover how discrimination can affect court rulings, particularly when it involves a black man against a corporation. The historical context of corporations prioritizing profit over worker safety is also intriguing. Overall, this book seems like an eye-opening read for anyone interested in understanding the flaws within the judicial system and the corporate sector. Richly textured world-building, felt expansive.
