Judge Pickles' outrageous and controversial decisions in his 40 years in law have gained him the reputation of being anti-women, media-infected, and led many people to be greatly relieved when he retired in July 1991. In this book, James Pickles sets down the charges against him, defends his opinions and decisions and gives the verdict on himself, challenging the reader to agree or disagree with him. By the author of Straight From the Bench.
