Behind the scenes in Supreme Court practices

A PRIMETIME news program reported recently the alleged attempt of various personalities to thwart the release of "Shadow of Doubt", a book authored by Maritess Vitug, founder of the Philippine Centre for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ).

Purportedly, the "Shadow of Doubt" contains information about what the Philippine supreme court is all about. Vitug said that the book also uncovers how processes inside the high tribunal are manipulated by some of the country’s most powerful people.

To be launched on March 16, the book entitled Shadow of Doubt: Probing the Supreme Court is published by Newsbreak and written by its editor in chief, Marites Danguilan Vitug, author of The Politics of Logging: Power from the Forest (1993) and Under the Crescent Moon: Rebellion in Mindanao (2000).

We will try to obtain a hard copy or, if possible, download a soft copy of Shadow of Doubt book by Maritess Vitug through various sources on the web, so that we will be able to blog about it.
