Judge Robert Braithwaite presides over a most unusual docket: bighorn-sheep poachers in ultralight planes, BASE jumpers off Zion's cliffs, marijuana grows guarded by AK-47s, canoodling nudists, and even a man who threatened the president. Across a 27-year career spanning courtrooms both grand and Quonset-hut humble, he reflects with humor and heart on truth, justice, human fallibility, and why every juror deserves a doughnut. Part memoir, part legal primer, this warm and quirky collection takes readers inside the real workings of American justice.

  • Bighorn-sheep poachers, canoodling nudists, and duck killers—the true cases no TV writer could invent
  • A judge who holds court in his own front yard and in a Quonset hut
  • Father of best-selling Matched author Ally Condie tells his own story
  • Perfect for national parks lovers: justice served in America's most beautiful backyard

Perfect for a reader who loves quirky regional memoirs, national parks, and behind-the-scenes true legal stories told with humor and heart.
