Like most, I naively entered the legal profession, thinking that all of those, like myself, that had prepared themselves for the practice of law, having committed themselves to uphold the law, having committed by their oath to the office of attorney to stand for 'justice' for all, would do so to the best of their abilities. Was I ever in for a surprise.That was many years ago. Many disappointing experiences ago and before I came to learn from some of the experiences that I will share with you in my book Black Robe Fever. Space will only allow me to share some of those experiences with you but you will see from what I share that in some courts lawyers will find it necessary to risk, at times, their own safety in order to fight for their client's rights for 'justice'. This happens when faced with a judge that is possessed with the insidious disease of black robe fever.

"'Black Robe Fever' ... brings out every latent character defect in an individual." "Black Robe Fever" or "Robe-itis"-the syndrome from which elevation to a judicial position generates arrogance and disdain for the perspectives of others-is seldom addressed or corrected. In fact, one jurist defined "Black Robe Fever" as the process by which "donning a 'judicial robe' brings out every latent character defect in an individual." Author Steven I. Platt, who served for 30 years on the Bench of the Maryland Judiciary, now a full-time mediator/arbitrator, offers his views on the state of the judiciary (local, state, and federal). The role of "problem solver" contrasts dramatically with the more traditional and limited role of a judge as a dispute resolution officer. Are judges expected to be impartial arbiters, repositories of wisdom, pourers of oil on troubled waters, and parsers of legal complexities? Yes! But the system for recruiting and selecting judges is not premised on any stated list of qualities to be sought in judges. Black Robe Fever: The Role of the Judge in American Society represents a well-chosen collection of Judge Platt's essential, timeless writings on the state of the judiciary. For 13 years, Judge Platt shared his opinion publicly in a blog and in a popular column in The Daily Record in Baltimore to broaden the discussion of what it truly means to serve on the Bench and to serve the people. In these troubled times when we are constantly bombarded with heavily divisive rhetoric, Judge Platt's words span across decades of political, economic, and legal strife offering a neutral, common-sense view based on decades of experience serving on the Bench in Maryland. Chapters include: Chapter 1: The Role of the Judge in Our Society Chapter 2: Judicial Hierarchy Must Adapt to a Flattened World Chapter 3: Problem-Solving Courts Change Mission of Judiciary Chapter 4: Problem-Solving Courts by Choice or Challenge Chapter 5: Health Courts RX: Renewable? Not So Far Chapter 6: The Qualities of a Good Judge Chapter 7: The Life of a Judge Chapter 8: The Interaction and Interdependency of an Independent Judiciary and a Free Media Chapter 9: Judicial Philosophy: Does It Make a Difference? Chapter 10: The Philosophy of Legal Pragmatism Chapter 11: Various Feminist Theories of Jurisprudence Chapter 12: Law and Economics School of Jurisprudence Chapter 13: Should We Leave the Effort to Reconcile the Various Judicial Philosophies to Economics? Chapter 14: A Judge Cannot Have Any Agenda Chapter 15: Law or Politics? The People's Choice Chapter 16: Relativism in the Law Chapter 17: New Year's Resolutions Chapter 18: Graduation Speeches to Live By Chapter 19: Do We Still Believe in the Future? Chapter 20: Isaiah Berlin: A Prophet Without a Cause Chapter 21: Chief Judge Robert F. Sweeney: Remembering the Vision Chapter 22: The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Black Robe, an account of the 17th-century encounter between the Huron and Iroquois the French called "Les Sauvages" and the French Jesuit missionaries the native people called "Blackrobes," is Brian Moore's most striking book. No other novel has so well captured both the intense--and disastrous--strangeness of each culture to one another, and their equal strangeness to our own much later understanding.

Gary is: Fearless. ~ Jim Burgund, Trial Consultant One of our nation's real masters. ~ Dale Williams, Trial Lawyer A super trial lawyer. ~ Steven J. Adams, Former Oklahoma District Judge One of the most dynamic, competent trial lawyers today. ~ Broadus A. Spivey, Trial Lawyer. [In] command of the courtroom. ~ Donn F. Baker, Trial Lawyer As long as there are wrongs to right, and battles to win, I think we'll see Gary Richardson in there fighting. The greater the challenge, the more he seems to like it. ~ Becky L. Dixon, TV Producer Gary's humble roots gave him three precious gifts. * An intelligence that won't rest until it grasps the whole story. * A work ethic directed voraciously at anything he believes is true. * An unshakable sense of right and wrong, with no rest as long as wrong is winning. It comes as no surprise then, that the Daily Oklahoman featured Gary as "Oklahoma's Legal Top Gun." Here he takes an unblinking look at his field of law in this country and unflinchingly asks the hard questions. The closer you are to practicing law, or representing the average citizen against the Power Structure (s) of this world, the bumpier the ride with this fighter. Fasten your seat belt. Enjoy.

THE doctors could do no more for the Dowager Lady Berrick. When the medical advisers of a lady who has reached seventy years of age recommend the mild climate of the South of France, they mean in plain language that they have arrived at the end of their resources. Her ladyship gave the mild climate a fair trial, and then decided (as she herself expressed it) to "die at home." Traveling slowly, she had reached Paris at the date when I last heard of her. It was then the beginning of November. A week later, I met with her nephew, Lewis Romayne, at the club. "What brings you to London at this time of year?" I asked. "The fatality that pursues me," he answered grimly. "I am one of the unluckiest men living."

Veronica J. White, an attorney licensed in Michigan in 2004, is just a regular person with a law degree and only became an attorney because she had negative experiences with attorneys and the legal system when trying to get through her own divorce with significant co-parenting issues. She has experience with divorces, domestic violence, and parenting time problems, so she decided to help other people out there who might be like her. She just wanted to feel understood in her case and understand the process. Seventeen years later, this is the information she believes people caught up in the Michigan family law system want to know. Being in the system feels like fearing for the next mine in the field that could blow up your case and can be stressful and confusing. Understanding the lay of the family law land can hopefully be helpful in reducing this stress and confusion. Veronica wrote an article for a local newspaper over the course of 2003–2012 and won a third-place award from the Michigan Press Award in 2007 (Good perspective—seems to be the “person who lives down the street” persona).

Introducing lawyer-turned-ex-con Edward Hall—from the “the finest writer of legal thrillers in the country” (Jeremiah Healy, bestselling author of the John Cuddy mysteries). Fresh out of prison, former lawyer Edward Hall thinks his days in the courtroom are behind him. Until his sister, Dr Amy Hall, is arrested for murder . . . She’s been accused of shooting the ex-husband she supposedly reconciled with and is convinced that her ex-convict brother is the only one able to save her. To make matters worse, the media won’t ignore Amy’s high-profile case; an example needs to be made of a doctor murdering another doctor. So Edward promises to do everything he can to protect his sister, because she is innocent, isn’t she? Edward finds himself back in the courtroom facing Cynthia, the judge responsible for his arrest and imprisonment all those years ago. With personal grudges heavy in the air, can Edward spare his sister from a brutal sentencing that could cost her her life? “Brandon, a Texas criminal lawyer, knows how to ratchet up tension in the courtroom.”—Publishers Weekly “A fine, tense legal thriller with an offbeat plot.”—Booklist Praise for Jay Brandon “Jay Brandon knows how to put together a tight, believable courtroom melodrama.”—Entertainment Weekly “Brandon is among the best in the legal-thriller business at catching the real atmosphere of a trial.”—Publishers Weekly

Popular author Steven Lubet brings his signature blend of humor, advocacy, and legal ethics to The Importance of Being Honest, an incisive analysis of how honesty and law play out in current affairs and historical events. Drawing on original work as well as op-ed pieces and articles that have appeared in the American Lawyer, the Chicago Tribune, and many other national publications, Lubet explores the complex aspects of honesty in the legal world. The Importance of Being Honest is full of tales of questionable practices and poor behavior, chosen because negative examples are much richer, and often more remarkable, in their ultimate lessons. Wyatt Earp’s shootout with Billy Clanton, Bill Clinton’s disastrous decision to lie under oath, Oscar Wilde’s self-destructive perjury in a 1896 libel trial, and the dubious resolution of Justice Scalia’s duck hunting trip with Dick Cheney are only a few of the cases Lubet use to illustrate that law is a vague and boggy realm where truth, and falsehood, is seldom absolute. With his lively, insightful, and sometimes hilarious prose, Lubet takes readers on a tour of the law in our everyday lives, and forces us to rethink how we really feel about honesty and truth.

This book is devoted to the life of one of America’s greatest jurists, Frank W. Wilson. It discusses his early life, education, life in the military, political life, life as a trial lawyer and, finally, life as a federal judge. Although Judge Wilson served for some twenty years on the federal bench, he turned down opportunities to serve on the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and was considered for a position on the United States Supreme Court. In addition to being a legal scholar, one of his finest qualities as a trial judge was to let the lawyers try their cases, and in twenty years, he never suffered from the affliction known as robitis. But he was not just a scholarly judge; he was an accomplished speaker with a quick, dry wit.

The Dividing of America is a true story taken from volumes of court transcripts, depositions, news articles, video news presentations, felony booking warrants, and voluminous personal notes that all became public documents with the fraudulent arrest of an Oklahoma contractor and businessman. What began as nothing more than the bidding of a construction project led down a path of corruption, shady lawyers, corrupt public servants, and judges who hide the truth from the juries and hire criminal hitmen as special process servers!
