AN UNFINISHED STRUGGLE

Price: US$ 16

This book is vital reading for anyone who wishes to have an understanding of the extreme crisis of the judicial system in Sri Lanka. Concentrating on the character of the chief justice, Sarath Nanda De Silva, the author revels a colossal crisis within the judicial system that no one who cares for the survival of the rule of law in the country can ignore. In fact, how such a crisis such as this has not provoked a revolt from within the judiciary and among lawyers and the enlightened public in the country is hard to explain. There seems to be something radically inadequate within the legal fraternity, the political leadership and the media that shapes public opinion to have allowed such a crisis to occur.
