About the book (from the dust jacket)
Joseph A. Wapner has become America’s most trusted judge because of the phenomenally successful TV show “The People’s Court.’ But Wapner’s credentials go further than his TV court. During his 20 years as a municipal and superior court judge, he brandished his gavel with the same no nonsense wisdom, practicality, fair: and irascible wit that are now so ness, familiar, After one trial, he passed out fortune cookies with the Legend “Lean settlement better than lawsuit.” And once when man accused of
speeding said his Caddy wouldn’t go as fast as the police alleged, Wapner-robes flying-took the car for a spin himself and found the defendant Not Guilty.
In A View from the Bench, Wapner draws on those years, sharing stories from his most unforgettable courtroom adventures–stories never told on television often vision, stories that moving, and occasionally outrageous as only real life can be And when Wapner sums them up, readers get unforgettable lessons-in law, in the unpredictability of human behavior, and in real old-fashioned right and wrong, In A View from the Bench, the judge brings the law to life in the way his millions of fans have come to expect. He shows why and how the system works. Reading his book, it’s easy to understand why, when President Reagan considered a replacement for Supreme Court Chief Justice
Warren Burger, countless Americans told pollsters they wanted Wapner. A View from the Bench shows why Judge Wapner remains the people’s choice as our most beloved jurist-on screen and on the bench.
