Whether or not you have ever practiced criminal law, retired Justice Joel Goldberg’s book will provide you insight into how cases are investigated, prosecuted, and tried in the Criminal Term in New York City. And you will appreciate the ‘war stories’—we all have them and enjoy sharing them. As its title suggests, the book chronicles Goldberg’s legal career from a young, freshly minted assistant district attorney in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office to an experienced Acting Supreme Court Justice assigned to the Criminal Term in Brooklyn.

Although he addresses serious subjects such as sex crimes, murders, robberies and other criminal activity, Goldberg’s anecdotes are personal and revealing. You watch a young man move through the DA’s office, from trial assistant to supervisor and eventually the bench. Not afraid to share his mistakes with the reader, you gain insight into the mind of a prosecutor and subsequently a judge.
