Her Honor: My Life on the Bench...What Works, What's Broken, and How to Change It Free Audiobook Download by Ladoris Hazzard Cordell

A judge has a lot of power. They can decide whether or not someone is guilty or even innocent, but they also have the ability to send people to prison, order them to pay fines, and take away their rights if they break the law. The problem is that all those powers come with a high level of responsibility, so it can be difficult for judges who are new at the job to know what they're doing. Author Ladoris Cordell offers insight into her experience as a judge and helps others figure out how to make their work easier by providing a guide for judges on what works and what doesn't work in the courtroom.
