The book cleverly used statistics and facts mixed with stories and anecdotes to persuade and inform the audience.
The reading was slow going at first, but what law reading is?

This somewhat dated book sounds a lot like political emails I get each day. It complains about the judicial system in a way that makes you think the author longs for better days; like maybe the Antebellum South or Al Capone's Chicago. Really, some of his complaints are simply stupid. I was particularly stunned at his idiotic comments about the Miranda Warning. Apparently, in his privileged community he had never had a run-in with the law as his naivete is astounding. Anyway, this is a book you can miss.

I don't give many Five-Stars, but this one deserves it. Max makes good sense and enlightens us. Every law and political science student should have this as required reading. An attempt to unseated a NW Hoosier Judge failed a few months ago. Not enough of his work was truly educated to the voters. This volume will be on my 'to reread' list.

Boot tells many anecdotes about judges and their foibles. Has some potential ways in which to fix some of the problem, mostly incremental things such as Rep. Henry Hyde has recommended. - impeachment is NOT one of his favored choices
