Judging: A Book for Student Clerks (KF8807 .J94 2002 at Reference) is a slender book of readings, edited by Louis J. Sirico, Jr. It's aimed at law students doing judicial externships (perhaps to be used as a text in an externship seminar), but it could be interesting to leaf through for others interested in the judging process. The readings are excerpted from law reviews and newspapers -- even a "60 Minutes" transcript.
Topics are:
- The Decision Making Process
- Effect of Public Opinion on the Decision Making Process
- The Criminal Process
- Ethics and the Judiciary
- The Judge's Role in Pre-Trial Settlement and Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Collegiality Between Judges
- Judges and Juries
- Judges and Lawyers
- Judges Are Human, Too
- Law Clerks and Writing
