The back cover says: "All of the forces that had been in play for years started to come to a head and, in the process, tore at the fiber of this great American institution. Grandstanding, name-calling, and score-settling were now at the heart of this once-enviable school. Lost was the sense of justice and the mission to produce morally bound leaders of American society who could judge between right and wrong and foster a more humane world that had been the backbone of the school.
Instead, Harvard Law had become a mockery of itself, a social metaphor for all the themes confronting America in the 1990s: the tensions between excellence, diversity, feminism, free speech, political correctness--the excesses of money, power, and greed...This is the story of how it all began." from the Prologue to "Poisned Ivy"
