Trade Review"This volume offers learned, engaging perspectives on law, legal systems, and the judicial task from an array of distinguished judges and lawyers. It is illuminating on how we train lawyers and how judges perceive the judge's task, juxtaposing American, English, and Irish perspectives." -- -R. B. Bernstein Lecturer in Law and Politics, Colin Powell School, CCNY, and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Law, New York Law School "In the Sonnett series, the leaders of legal profession grapple seriously and well, over a period of two generations, with issues that are central to the critical work that lawyers and judges do. It is an important collection from the vantage point of legal history and from the avantage point of legal thought." -- -William Michael Treanor Georgetown Law School
