In his four-time Emmy-nominated show Caught in Providence, Judge Frank Caprio's courtroom became a worldwide beacon of compassionate justice--and an unforgettable watch for millions of fans.

From 1985, when he first took the bench, to when he stepped down in 2023, Judge Caprio dispensed true compassion to a continuous flow of regular people in his municipal traffic court in Providence, Rhode Island. His courtroom was a place where defendants were treated with dignity, and where the deserving were given a break--not a pass or get-out-of-jail-free card, but the chance to right their lives and care for their families.

In Compassion in the Court, Judge Caprio shares transformative stories and lessons from his life and courtroom, including:

Wisdom he gained from his immigrant parents Stories shared by individuals of all ages who appeared in court How he developed the ability to tell when someone is not telling the truth The power of growing up with someone who believed in him--and how he's tried to provide the same for everyone who appeared before him How a person's worth isn't measured by the mistakes they make, but by their ability to learn from those mistakes

Cupcake] Brown's confessional . . . memoir is one you can't easily put down. Her life is nothing short of a miracle.--Chicago Sun-Times

There are shelves of memoirs about overcoming the death of a parent, childhood abuse, rape, drug addiction, miscarriage, alcoholism, hustling, gangbanging, near-death injuries, drug dealing, prostitution, and homelessness.

Cupcake Brown survived all these things before she'd even turned twenty.

And that's when things got interesting. . .

Orphaned by the death of her mother and left in the hands of a sadistic foster parent, young Cupcake Brown learned to survive by turning tricks, downing hard liquor, and ingesting every drug she could find while hitchhiking up and down the California coast. She stumbled into gangbanging, drug dealing, hustling, prostitution, theft, and, eventually, the best scam of all: a series of 9-to-5 jobs.

A Piece of Cake is unlike any memoir you'll ever read. Moving in its frankness, this is the most satisfying, startlingly funny, and genuinely affecting tour through hell you'll ever take.

Praise for A Piece of Cake

Featured in the critically acclaimed documentary RBG

It was beyond my wildest imagination that I would one day become the 'Notorious RBG. -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 2019

She was a fierce dissenter with a serious collar game. A legendary, self-described flaming feminist litigator who made the world more equal. And an intergenerational icon affectionately known as the Notorious RBG. As the nation mourns the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, discover the story of a remarkable woman and learn how to carry on her legacy.

This runaway bestseller, brought to you by the attorney founder of the Notorious RBG Tumblr and an award-winning feminist journalist, is more than just a love letter. It draws on intimate access to Ginsburg's family members, close friends, colleagues, and clerks, as well as an interview with the Justice herself.

We all should heed the lessons I've learned and what I continue to believe: the law, properly applied, is a powerful force for good in our society.

In this thoughtful and candid memoir, former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Larry D. Thompson explores the big questions of his life and career, from his childhood in Hannibal, Missouri to his time advising the nation's most powerful figures in government and business leadership.

With a strong belief in the principles of the U.S. Constitution and a desire for cooperation across ideological, social, and racial lines, Thompson rose through the ranks in both government and corporate practice. His career trajectory touches on some of our most pressing issues. As Deputy U.S. Attorney General under President George W. Bush, he guided the administration through complex questions concerning privacy and security. As counsel for PepsiCo, Inc. and the Compliance Monitor for Volkswagen, he weighed in on important debates about corporate responsibility. And as a successful Black man with a moderate approach to politics, he has had to confront issues of diversity and justice in modern America.

Quiet Counsel is a collection of Thompson's personal and legal philosophies, a series of considered arguments for becoming a safer, fairer, and better nation through the legal system. In an era where the loudest debaters dominate our political and social conversations, Thompson proves that sometimes the quiet voice is the one most worth heeding.

Legal Gladiator is the story of perhaps the greatest lawyer in American history. It is the story of a poor, failing high schooler from Brooklyn who became the youngest professor in the history of Harvard Law School, where Ted Cruz, Natalie Portman, Mike Pompeo, Jamie Raskin, and others sat under his tutelage. It is the story of a passionate Zionist who advocated for Israel on the world stage and became a confidant of Israeli prime ministers, including Benjamin Netanyahu. And it is the story of a zealous young liberal who, as an old man, stood in front of the Senate to declare that they would be violating the Constitution by removing a Republican president he himself opposed.

As a lawyer, Alan Dershowitz has had a major impact on the most notorious legal cases in modern U.S. history. From Claus von Bulow to Mike Tyson to O.J. Simpson to Jeffrey Epstein to Donald Trump, he has devoted his life to championing the bedrock principle of the American justice system: that every person--no matter how despised--has the right to a rigorous legal defense. Legal Gladiator explores Dershowitz's rise to prominence, gives the inside story of his most high-profile cases and controversies, and provides a shockingly intimate look into his personal life.
Dershowitz gave author Solomon Schmidt unprecedented access to his personal and professional life, including his private archives at Brooklyn College and dozens of interviews with him virtually and in New York City, Miami, Martha's Vineyard, and Israel. This book includes exclusive interview content from Bob Shapiro, Jeffrey Toobin, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Glenn Greenwald, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Eliot Spitzer, Justice Stephen Breyer, Mike Huckabee, Woody Allen, Noam Chomsky, Jared Kushner, Geraldo Rivera, Mark Levin, Mike Pompeo, Megyn Kelly, Mike Tyson, Ted Cruz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., O.J. Simpson, and Donald Trump, among others.

The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon.

In this story of human triumph that hums with hope and exhilaration (NPR), she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself.

Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself. She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life.

With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney's office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty.

Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America's infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book.

My Own Words showcases Ruth Ginsburg's astonishing intellectual range (The New Republic).

It was a year of terrors and triumphs, of depressions and elations, of compulsive work, pitiless competition, and, finally, mass hysteria. It was Scott Turow's first year at the oldest, biggest, most esteemed center of legal education in the United States. Turow's experiences at Harvard Law School, where freshmen are dubbed One Ls, parallel those of first-year law students everywhere. His gripping account of this critical, formative year in the life of a lawyer is as suspenseful, said The New York Times, as the most absorbing of thrillers.

Obstruction of justice, the specter of impeachment, sexism at work, shocking revelations: Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside her trial by fire as a Watergate prosecutor.

It was a time, much like today, when Americans feared for the future of their democracy, and women stood up for equal treatment. At the crossroads of the Watergate scandal and the women's movement was a young lawyer named Jill Wine Volner (as she was then known), barely thirty years old and the only woman on the team that prosecuted the highest-ranking White House officials. Called the mini-skirted lawyer by the press, she fought to receive the respect accorded her male counterparts--and prevailed.

In The Watergate Girl, Jill Wine-Banks opens a window on this troubled time in American history. It is impossible to read about the crimes of Richard Nixon and the people around him without drawing parallels to today's headlines. The book is also the story of a young woman who sought to make her professional mark while trapped in a failing marriage, buffeted by sexist preconceptions, and harboring secrets of her own. Her house was burgled, her phones were tapped, and even her office garbage was rifled through.

At once a cautionary tale and an inspiration for those who believe in the power of justice and the rule of law, The Watergate Girl is a revelation about our country, our politics, and who we are as a society.

There is no greater crime than to take a precious life. We are just a Mom and Dad being the voice for our daughter and fighting for justice. We believe any and every parent would want justice in this extraordinary criminal case.

We go through life knowing that tragedies occur in the blink of an eye. However, nothing prepares you for The Call. The Call is when you are informed one of your most precious gifts, your child's life has been taken. Anyone who's lost a child knows about The Call that begins a nightmare that a person cannot wake up from everything and be OK. The Call it will forever change life as you know it. Your heart is broken beyond repair, and from that point on everything is different.

You must then put your trust and faith in the Justice System to hold the person responsible and accountable for taking your child's precious life. You believe the Justice System will do the right thing and be the voice for your child. They will administer the criminal laws with the highest level of truth and morals to conduct fair and equal administration of the law to everyone, without corruption, favor, greed, or prejudice for those who practice law and enforce justice.

We will never get Megan back, but Megan's legacy will be the exposing of the willful and wonton decisions made by those within the Justice System that resulted in a 30 Month Probation sentence for taking Megan's precious life. Does that seem like acceptable justice for a perpetrator that accepted a Felony Plea Bargain indicating he caused Megan's death?

James Tenney Brand was an Oregon lawyer, circuit judge, and Oregon Supreme Court justice. In 1946 President Truman appointed Brand to serve as a judge on the military tribunal in which high ranking German judges and officials of the German Ministry of Justice were prosecuted in Nuremberg, Germany for their war crimes. Brand served as the presiding judge of the year-long trial.

That war crimes prosecution inspired the popular 1961 movie, Judgment at Nuremberg. Brand's powerful performance in the Nuremberg prosecution is thought to have been the inspiration for Spencer Tracy's movie portrayal of Judge Dan Haywood.

Brand was born in Oberlin, Ohio, to one of the city's most powerful ministers and a mother descended from two governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The book traces Brand's storied legal career revealing his powerful intellect and legal acumen that served him well on Nuremberg's world stage.

Paul J. DeMuniz, a former chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, provides expert analysis of the American Army's war crimes evidence, the defendants' response to that evidence, and Brand's important role in rendering judgment on each defendant. The book's account of the evils inflicted on the world by Nazi Germany, also serves as a modern reminder of the malevolence of totalitarianism in any form.
