View from The Bench Hardback Book with Dust Jacket By Judge Joseph A. Wapner of The People's Court Copyright 1987 " 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, fairness, and irascible wit that are now so familiar." " After one trial, he passed out fortune cookies with the legend " Lean settlement better than fat lawsuit." And once when a man accused of speeding said his Caddy wouldn't go as fast as the police alledged, Wapner- robes flying- took the car for a spin himself and found the defendent Not Guilty." A View from the Bench , Wapner draws on those years, sharing stories from his most unforgettable courtroom adventures- stories never told on television, stories that are funny, often moving, and occasionally outrageous as only real life can be." The book is in very good condition but has the previous owner's name written and crossed out on the first blank page. The dust jacket has the inside corner clipped off where the price was removed, is worn at the top edges, and has a stain on the inside flap. No torn or missing pages. |
