Description
Blind Justice
by Judge Craig B. Brown (Ret.)
Judge Craig Brown was a fixture in the Durham, North Carolina, criminal justice system for most of his adult life. He was an outspoken critic of the system and its effect on the disadvantaged victims of gang violence. In this hard hitting book by an active participant in many nationally famous trials, he tells of his life and his career as a judge in one of North Carolina's most active judicial districts.
About The Author:
Judge Brown received his B.A. in Political Science from the University of Chapel Hill in 1979 and his Juris Doctor Degree from the North Carolina School of Law in 1983. He received his Master’s Degree in Public Policy from Duke University the same year. Most of Judge Brown’s legal career was spent in Durham, North Carolina, which is a progressive, colorful, community. It is located in the central Piedmont section of North Carolina and is the home of Research Triangle Park, Duke University and North Carolina Central University. The city’s nickname is “The Bull City”, named for an early tobacco product called Bull Durham. Durham and surrounding Durham County figured prominently in early civil rights agitation and, today, it remains in the forefront of civil rights activities in the old South. Over recent decades, Durham has evolved from a tobacco and textile town to a technology and medical research industry.
Reviews:
Masonry and ink. Imposing buildings and books are what first come to mind when the subject of “law” is broached. Without people, there would be no need for these buildings or books. The legal arena is populated by people building upon the experiences of their predecessors in an effort to define the rules of our civilization. It is an ongoing work that is never finished. The roles of lawyers and judges are defined within this construct. As people, their contributions to our system of laws are colored by their life experiences. Craig Brown has imparted his observations as lawyer, judge and part of our society to this epistle. He has a lot to share with us. In this regard, he assumes a new mantle: that of teacher and mentor. I’m glad he took the time to share his experiences with us.
