Book Description Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First edition. Hardback. The author introduces some of the most important people in Canada: the men and women who sit on the bench in courtrooms across Canada, whose responsibility it is not only to decide the fate of individuals but to steer the very course of the law itself. We meet judges at every level of the judiciary: from provincial Court, where scrappy, street-level cases are heard, to the Supreme Court of Canada, where lofty judgements and weighty reinterpretations of the laws are made. The author has drawn from his subjects wonderful stories about all kinds of cases - everything from murder through to libel, child custody, malpractice, stock fraud, robbery, anti-combines offences, and assault. Whether the anecdotes are told buy such seasoned former member of the bench as 95yr. old James McRuer, the last judge to sentence a man to the gallows, or by Stephen Borins, who conducted the extradition hearing of rock groupie Cathy Smith, charged with the murder of John Belushi, or by Sandy MacPherson, who still recalls with horror the bitter Colin Thatcher child-custody case, or by Ron Macdonald, the Haligonian who sits as Liechtenstein's representative on the European Court of Human Rights, they offer a compelling look at the law in action from the judge's unique perspective. 335pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in f. dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage. Seller Inventory # 14066
