Azzat F: Writ at Large

Writ at Large

A Legal Life Well-Rounded

Behind every courtroom trial is a judge tasked with making a life-altering decision--this is their "engaging and bracingly honest" (National Catholic Reporter) side of the story "Provides an invaluable public service, as the judicial branch is perpetually shrouded in mystery."--Justin Driver, The Washington Post Prosecutors and defense attorneys have it easy--all they have to do is to present the evidence and make arguments. It's the judges who have the heavy lift: they are the ones who have to make the ultimate decisions, many of which have profound consequences on the lives of the people standing in front of them. In Tough Cases, called "powerful collection of inside information about some of the most interesting and high-proﬁle cases of our times" by former prosecutor Paul Butler, a remarkable group of judges--from family court to tribal court to the federal bench--pull back the curtain on the most challenging cases of their careers, sharing what it means to bear the weight of justice in cases that shape lives and ignite national debate. These "hard-to-put-down" (starred Library Journal) narratives include landmark rulings such as the Elián González custody case, the emotionally charged Terri Schiavo right-to-die battle, and the prosecution of Scooter Libby. Others unfold far from the public eye but are no less consequential: a tribal court judge navigating cultural tensions, a newly appointed jurist grappling with identity and authority, and a chilling case involving a mother who killed her own children. Relatively few judges have publicly shared the thought processes behind their decision making. Tough Cases makes for "unprecedented" (Greta van Susteren) reading for everyone from armchair attorneys and fans of Law and Order to those actively involved in the legal profession who want insight into the people judging their work.

Judges Tell the Stories of Some of the Hardest Decisions They've Ever Made

Tough Cases

In these pages, journalist and writer Pablo-Ignacio de Dalmases offers a courageous investigation that redefines the traditional, even iconic, image we have of Lorca today. This essay, which focuses on his gay identity, breaks new ground in biographical literature, offering us an intimate and daring portrait that takes us by the hand through the most significant--and unknown--aspect of the poet's intense life and emphasizes an aspect that no author had detected until now: the subsequent ideological evolution of his lovers, all of whom--except one, who remained faithful to his socialist and republican identity--ended up, in contrast to the poet's sad fate, firmly identified with Francoism. With its eloquent, entertaining, and well-documented prose, Federico's Fiancés promises to be essential reading not only for the LGBT community, Hispanists, and lovers of literature, but also for those interested in the cultural genealogy of our time. Every page of this work is imbued with respect and admiration for Lorca, delving into the struggles, loves, and passions of a man who lived with a complex and affirming nature, not without contradictions. This book not only celebrates his literary genius, but also humanizes the poet, showing us the many facets of his psychology and opening up lines of reflection on the construction of gay identity in postmodernity.

Novios de Federico, Los

Jessica Taylor-Bearman shares her innermost thoughts and real-time emotions, adapted from the diary she kept as a teenager growing up in southeast England. At just fifteen years old, instead of studying, socializing, and enjoying typical teenage life, Jessica became rapidly and devastatingly ill. She soon found herself bedridden, ultimately unable to move, speak, or eat.Despite overwhelming odds, Jessica refused to give up. She dreamed of becoming an author, getting married, leaving the hospital, and helping others by founding her own charity. In July 2018, her first book, A Girl Behind Dark Glasses, was published by Hashtag Press.Jessica has been nominated for a Pride of Britain Award, and her charity, Share A Star, continues to impact lives every day. She also appears in the Oscar-shortlisted, Sundance Award-winning documentary Unrest, directed by Jennifer Brea, which raises awareness about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.).

Number 1 bestseller, Finalist for The Peoples Book Prize 2019. From a darkened world, bound by four walls, a young woman called Jessica tells the tale of her battle against the M.E Monster. From beneath her dark glasses, Jessica glimpses a world far different from the one she remembers as a teenage schoolgirl.

A Girl Behind Dark Glasses

Argues Shakespeare was a dark-skinned Jewish woman, Emilia Bassano, challenging the traditional authorship and gender perceptions. Was Shakespeare a white man from Stratford? Debate still rages over the identity of the most beloved poet of all time and 'father' of the English-speaking world. Generations of researchers have tried to dismantle the myth of the Stratford man. Now, in this intriguing and well-documented book, Irene Coslet conclusively demonstrates that Shakespeare was a not a man, but a woman: a dark-skinned lady, of Jewish origin, born into a family of Court musicians from Venice, and the mother of the English-speaking world. Her name was Emilia Bassano. Based on a re-examination of often-overlooked historical documents, shrewd, chilling, and profound, this volume offers extensive evidence that Emilia was the author of the canon. This is not just a book about the authorship debate: it is about the condition of women at the time Shakespeare was writing. It explains that feminism already existed in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It reveals not only that Shakespeare was a woman, but also that she defended women. It reintegrates Emilia in the context of the time, for example, by exploring the relationship between Emilia and Queen Elizabeth I. The reader will leave this book with a sense of wonder, transformation, and will experience a paradigm shift. Be prepared to meet the next feminist icon.

"Gentlemen of the Jury; Reminiscences of Thirty Years at the Bar" is a captivating exploration of the American legal system through the eyes of one of its most distinguished practitioners. Written by Francis Lewis Wellman, a renowned trial lawyer and author of the classic "The Art of Cross-Examination," this work offers an insider's perspective on the high-stakes world of the courtroom. Drawing upon three decades of experience at the bar, Wellman presents a series of fascinating anecdotes, character sketches, and profound reflections on the art of litigation and the dynamics of the jury system. The book delves into the psychological nuances of legal battles, highlighting the strategies used to sway juries and the dramatic tension inherent in the search for justice. Beyond mere professional recollection, Wellman provides a vivid portrait of early 20th-century legal culture, capturing the wit, wisdom, and occasionally the humor found within the halls of justice. "Gentlemen of the Jury" serves as both an educational resource for aspiring legal professionals and a compelling narrative for anyone interested in the human element of the law. Its enduring value lies in its keen observations of human nature and the timeless principles of advocacy that continue to shape the legal landscape today.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Reminiscences of Thirty Years at the Bar

Gentlemen of the Jury

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2026 'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian Junger THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEER The true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him. In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

The Prosecutor

"What Life Means to Me at Seventy-Two" is a profound and introspective essay by the legendary American defense attorney Clarence Darrow. Written in the twilight of his storied career, this work offers a rare glimpse into the personal philosophy of one of the twentieth century's most influential legal minds. Darrow reflects on the lessons learned over seven decades, exploring themes of justice, morality, and the human condition with his trademark skepticism and intellectual rigor.Known for his defense of the underdog and his unwavering commitment to civil liberties, Darrow uses this platform to articulate his views on agnosticism, the nature of crime, and the inevitability of change. He contemplates what it means to live a meaningful life in a world often defined by cold logic and societal constraints. His prose is both accessible and deeply thought-provoking, capturing the essence of a man who spent his life challenging the status quo. "What Life Means to Me at Seventy-Two" serves as a testament to Darrow's enduring legacy as a thinker and advocate, providing readers with timeless wisdom on how to navigate the complexities of existence with integrity and reason.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

THE SOLO TRAP

A Man Visited by History illuminates what author Steven P. Brown calls the "single Scottsboro case–related subject that has not been adequately explored to this point": the life of Judge James E. Horton, Jr., the white Alabama Eighth Circuit judge who set aside the jury's guilty verdict in the second trial of defendant Haywood Patterson in Decatur. Of the three trial judges and more than one hundred jurors who considered the cases of the Scottsboro defendants, Horton was the only one to find that the evidence against them was virtually nonexistent. Horton was then removed from further involvement with the cases and, despite being on the fast track to political prominence before the 1933 retrial of the Scottsboro defendants, was defeated for reelection for the Eighth Circuit in 1934 and spent the next four decades in relative obscurity.
