Quite honestly the best book I've ever read

I didn't expect for this book to be an enjoyable read. I merely hoped that I could extract some knowledge from it. In fact, I adore this book. Not only is there knowledge, but it's powerful and inspiring. I thought it would be a bit of a bore given that judges are basically highly decorated attorneys. Not so. I've quoted it, re-read it, and I think it even changed my opinion in a few areas.
