This rigorous examination of the court system is presented from a
practical, citizen-based perspective and fueled by the firsthand
anecdotes shared with the author by a member of the Mafia in Chicago.
Touching upon the history of mob influence, including the dealings of
infamous Al Capone, the book asserts both the positives and negatives of
organized crime participants who are also functioning members of the
Chicago community. It makes claims about the ways in which corruption
can develop in a court system, and offers lessons through example on how
deep corruption could be in Chicago during various periods and what
motivation and opportunity there is for citizens to avoid such court
corruption.
