This is a fantastic book! I did not know very much about the American court and justice system prior to reading this book but now know a lot! There were lots of interesting stories and clear examples to demonstrate legal terms or difficult concepts. Each chapter or section is about a type of law or court case, ex. divorce court, wills and estates and woven within are a few memorable cases for a variety of reasons. Additionally, Cordell shares some of the challenges and successes she faced as she led the way for other diverse judges to represent their communities in the court room. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the justice system and the process judges go through when deliberating on cases and for anyone who enjoys reading memoirs written by strong, diverse authors. I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this great book!
