Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
With experience as both a trial and appellate judge, Charles
Benjamin Schudson knows the burdens on judges. With engaging
candor, he takes readers behind the bench to probe judicial minds
analyzing actual trials and sentencings-of abortion protesters,
murderers, sex predators, white supremacists, and others. He takes
us into chambers to hear judges forging appellate decisions about
life and death, multimillion-dollar damages, and priceless civil
rights. And, most significantly, he exposes the financial,
political, personal, and professional pressures that threaten
judicial ethics and independence. As political attacks on judges
increase, Schudson calls for reforms to protect judicial
independence and for vigilance to ensure justice for all.
Independence Corrupted is invaluable for students and scholars,
lawyers and judges, and all citizens concerned about the future of
America's courts.
