In making this choice, parents have a solemn obligation to nurture that child and see that he discovers the plan the Almighty has for his life. During the turmoil of a divorce, parents often forget this obligation and may come to view a child as a possession rather than as a person with his own special purpose. Dear Judge has given a group of ...             Justice for All: Earl Warren and the Nation He Made18 reviews Jim Newton Riverhead Trade, 2007 Great Learning Opportunity I rarely give a 5-star review on a book. This one gets one for a stack of reasons. When I finish a biography, I ask myself if I feel like I know the person. I feel I know Warren. Another reason to like this book, it makes no bones about Warren's bad decisions, his support of the uprooting of Japanese in California in 1941. The author is not shy about criticizing Earl Warren. Finally, ...             Slow Dollar17 reviews Margaret Maron Thorndike Press, 2002 An enjoyable modern cozy Cozy mysteries are really of two types: Novels in the traditional cozy style whose main emphasis is a mystery and its resolution (e.g., Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers) and novels in the more modern cozy format, whose main emphasis is on social interactions (primarily between family, friends, and coworkers) with the mystery being a smaller component of the exposition. This is definitely a cozy ...             Civil Warrior: Memoirs of a Civil Rights Attorney11 reviews Guy T. Saperstein Berkeley Hills Books, 2002 Beyond Fiction Saperstein says lawyers work hard. I just finished this book and I am exhausted! It is amazing, and a credit to Saperstein, what one person can do when trained, unleashed and licensed to practice law. What we see is a young, intelligent, and questioning person, confronted with injustice, accept as seemingly his fate, personal responsibility to overcome it. And-- I recall an article about him some ...             The Assassinations: Probe Magazine on JFK, MLK, RFK, and Malcolm X14 reviews Judge Joe Brown, Zachary Sklar Feral House, 2003 Very investigative! Probe Magazine has always fascinated even lone nut theorists. The reason why is because it was an extremely investigative Magazine. James DiEugenio, Lisa Pease, etc have been known for their tireless investigative research into the true circumstances surrounding the death of America's 35th President. Now, you can read the wonderful articles that the Probe writers worked on concerning ...             Not a Genuine Black Man: Or, How I Claimed My Piece of Ground in the Lily-White Suburbs25 reviews Brian Copeland Hyperion, 2006 A Protective Mask...And Depression Brian Copeland's "Not a Genuine Black Man" is a provocative and moving autobiography that begins the Copeland family's 1972 move into "lily white" San Leandro, California.

Written by a expert in communication. Each case brought you into the defense, you believe in the actions brought forward to give not only a legal defense by our constitution but to see a inocent person never is incarcerated,if that ever comes to pass. I would hope Mr. Black will write more, he is able to take a very complicated subject and break it down to a laymans understanding.             One Thousand Tracings: Healing the Wounds of World War II12 reviews Hyperion Book CH, 2007 A Beautiful Account of Human Compassion Author/illustrator Lita Judge was inspired to write this picture book, her first, when she found a box of full of old letters containing foot tracings. She learned from her mother about the huge relief effort her grandparents, Fran and Frederick Hamerstrom, led to help families in need in post-WWII Europe. One Thousand Tracings is the story of this effort told from the perspective of young ...             John Marshall: Definer of a Nation29 reviews Jean Edward Smith Henry Holt and Co., 1996 The title says it all............ .....though we can still debate whether he defined it correctly. John Marshall, fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was, and remains, one of the absolute giants of our history. Washington fought the battles, Jefferson and Madison composed the theories, but it remained for Marshall to elucidate what it all meant. This is, to my mind, the definitive biography of a titan. John Marshall was ...             Can I Get a Witness?16 reviews ReShonda Tate Billingsley Pocket, 2008 As It Seems As `Can I Get a Witness?' opens we're introduced to Vanessa, a divorce court judge hearing a case about a cheating husband. Every day it was the same case, just different participants. The only thing that was appeasing was that this was simply a stepping stone to her political career. But what happens when, suddenly, the case being heard involves Vanessa and her husband? Not so ordinary now ...             Java With the Judges (Coffee Cup Bible Series)9 reviews Sandra L. Glahn AMG Publishers, 2006 Not your usual Bible study What a tremendous resource Java with the Judges is! I'd read through Judges a bit perplexed, thankful to study the book in depth through the lenses of Glahn's impeccable research and warm writing style. I'm forever thankful for her insights, particularly this: "Even our flaws can't thwart God's purposes." She presents the judges as flawed, earthy folk and rightly points out God's sovereignty and ...             The Magistrates9 reviews Judge Peter S. Smith (Ret.) iUniverse, Inc., 2004 Riveting and Suspenseful Judge Smith's riveting and suspenseful novel is so realistic that it brought back fond memories of my early days as a young prosecutor in L.A. County's criminal justice system. Congratulations to Judge Smith for winning the First Place $1000 prize from www.jadapress.com for Best Fiction Book. Judge Smith is to be commended for writing a superb novel that makes easy reading for lay persons.             Weather Flying10 reviews Robert N. Buck McGraw-Hill Professional, 1997 "The sky is my office" It is hard to imagine a pilot with more weather flying experience than Captain Robert Buck. And much of this flying was in the old days: in the early years of the Army Air Corp and a young company called TWA. Much of this flying was accomplished without the assistance of modern instrumentation. Captain Buck travelled the world seeking the most ornery weather he could find, and then flew into it ...             The Chinese Gold Murders (Judge Dee Mysteries)9 reviews Robert van Gulik University Of Chicago Press, 1979 excellent mystery, very misleading about chinese justice system I have read all the Judge Dee mysteries at least twice, and really love them. However, I have just read a number of books on China and discover that van Gulik has purposefully mislead readers to make ancient Chinese justice just like Western justice and rather appealing. The truth is almost the exact opposite. If you are interested, a standard history of china by harvard professor John ...             How Can You Defend Those People?9 reviews The Lyons Press, 2008 Hysterically Entertaining Hysterically Entertaining Enchanted by the quagmires, challenges, and events that surround the lives of attorneys, media commentators, and entertainers?

I met the author on a flight coming back from Brazil at the beginning of this year. He was an interesting person with a great sense of humor. He sent us his book to read. I was surprised when I read his book at the horrible things he had to go through - living in the LA slums, having parents that used drugs, and finally having polio. He makes his life story very interesting and keeps you ...             "Ready for the People": My Most Chilling Cases as a Prosecutor9 reviews Marissa N. Batt Arcade Publishing, 2005 An Intriguing Picture... ...of the L.A. justice system. I won't repeat the other reviews, but two or three things deserve note. First, Johnnie Cochran wrote the introduction...high praise indeed. Second, the appendix - "Twenty-five rules for giving effective testimony" - is interesting reading in itself. Overall, the book is not compelling reading, not forcing you to read it in one sitting, but it's interesting and ...             The Best Lawyer in a One-Lawyer Town9 reviews Dale Bumpers University of Arkansas Press, 2004 A Witty and Heartfelt Memoir Dale Bumpers recounts his formative years with honesty, verve, and a wonderful sense of humor.
