Sinopsis

There is right and wrong under law. This book explains the difference. It defines crimes, punishment, good and bad behavior. It tells you how to minimize punishment or extend it. It looks at the court system from a court reporter's view - the best seat in the courtroom, and armed with legal knowledge - always there, and always neutral. Some persons have been seriously harmed, wronged, and/or abused, and find it impossible to conform because they never had a chance to benefit from the laws that protect them. The system goes by tried and true laws and finds a place that's right for the accused - somewhere between rehabilitation and punishment.

Biografía del autor

Fannie Smith began her court reporting career in Chicago. Soon she moved back to Minneapolis, near family. There she freelanced, working in the court system as a substitute and covering most of the conventions and business meetings in the area.The last eighteen years, she was an official for the First Judicial District, working for Judge Robert J. Breunig. The area was rural, and became urban, bordering the south and west Twin Cities. In 1967, we were four judges and four court reporters. When she retired in 1985, there were near thirty. Today, the number has more than doubled. District, county, and city judges became the same and rotated throughout the courts of the district. In the 1970's court reporters became a "pool," answering to a court administrator at the convenience of the court system.Fannie Smith was an early machine writer - never saw one in Chicago - second in Minnesota - in a world of pen writing court reporters who tolerated or "feared" the female machine writer.In 1985, Fannie retired with her husband, Maynard, of fifty years. Together they spend about half of their time either in Milaca, Minnesota or in Sun City, Arizona. She's been writing family histories, and has published on the Internet The Record Never Forgets 2nd Edition, History of Court Reporting and Shorthand; and a book of historical fiction, Opportunity 1850, about the emigration of four farm brothers from Europe who realized their American dream.
