Book Reviews of A Day in Part 15: Law and Order in Family Court
Book Review: Thought-provoking, eye-opening, and harrowing.
Summary: 5 Stars
Scary stuff. This is not a job I think I could do. I was amazed by the immense variety of family distress situations faced by the court. Judge Ross seems to maintain great powers of objectivity and analysis in the face of a near-constant stream of the most painful decisions one could have to make. I was stunned by some of the descriptions of what many kids before his court endured before they got there. Fascinating book. I hope more are forthcoming from Judge Ross.
