Product Description
Black Judges on Justice is the first book to present the views of leading African American judges on the way our judicial system works. From pioneers such as Leon Higginbotham and Constance Baker Motley (the first black female federal judge) to such outspoken and well-known mavericks as Bruce Wright, the testimony of these judges provides penetrating analysis of the role of the jurist, of the daily malfunctioning of the courts, and of the future of the judicial system itself.

This is one book that must be read by any African Americans interested in the legal system. It gives candid interviews with some of the most famous black lawyers and judges who express their feeling toward the American Justice system. The book shows a side of the legal system that no book before ever has and is worth the read.

The author interviews black male and female judges from the state and federal judiciary. The interviews are thought provoking and detailed. You are given a glimpse into each judge's perspective from the bench and, in most cases, afforded their political commentary. Most of the judges interviewed are cognizant of the historical racism present in our legal system. The judges are proud, intelligent and strive to set an example as jurists and as people of color. I was so very moved by this book.
