ABA New Book Release
  
Blindfolds Off: Judges on How They Decide 

This important new book penetrates the veil of secrecy of how judges decide cases, with thirteen interviews tape recorded in the chambers of the respective judges. The author, Mr. Joel Cohen, has picked as the interviewees federal district judges who have presided in famous, publicity-attracting cases, cases most likely to challenge a judge?s fidelity to a passive, formalistic?which is to say traditional?mode of judicial decision making, and he has focused the interviews on those cases. In this book, you'll discover:

--Have the judges have been open, even aware, of what experiences have influenced their rulings? 
--How judges acknowledge awareness of these potential influences?of their "priors" 
--Have they contrarily decided, after inwardly acknowledging the "awareness," that they can or did fairly decide the case, so that they needn't publicly reveal themselves? 

The book features selected specific, well known cases for the free-flowing dialogues which follow, from the thousands of cases to which these thirteen judges have been assigned. These are cases which have raised critical questions about justice, policy, precedent and the law and the way in which the currents and tides of their lives and of our ever-changing society have influenced those rulings.
