I'm a fan of that particular legal theorist, but I think you'll need to go a bit farther than merely mentioning the title, which refers to life in the USSR under communism. He's not saying that everyone in the US is actually committing 3 felonies a day, but rather arguing for tort reforms, better sunset provisions, and a more responsive legislative process. A great deal of law finds its way onto the books because 'it seemed like a good idea at the time,' and very often such laws are the result of populist pressure. Some are engineered by people with selfish motives, many are simply misguided.


I don't think you've read this book.
