Courtroom Misfits: Fifty Years of Judges Behaving Badly in America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798395404374)

In recent years national news organizations carried lengthy stories about wrongdoing by judges in the United States. Now read the most comprehensive book ever written on the topic. Courtroom Misfits looks at judicial discipline in American's courts over the last half century. Based on thousands of official records of wrongdoing by judges, you won't believe the illegal, unethical and even hilarious acts of judges, some of whom still sit on the bench, administering justice. As the well-researched book's introduction states: "Some antics are funny and some pathetic, ranging from a California judge who allowed an attorney to sing a strange song to a jury that had nothing to do with the case to a New York judge exercising his sexual proclivities with an extremely naive young woman on his desk in chambers." In between these bizarre extremes, colorful tales of real judges come to life in tantalizing narrative, such as: "It was Oklahoma in 1999. But it could well have been a scene from Franz Kafka's 1914 novel, The Trial, about a man who is arrested and prosecuted for an unknown crime. Picture it, and put yourself in this sadistic judge's courtroom." Authored by a highly skilled legal affairs writer, Courtroom Misfits in turns is very funny and very disturbing. - Pilar Publishing of California.
