Book Description
When Elmer Stark's dream of becoming the greatest thoroughbred jockey of all time is shattered by the daughter of a rich and powerful rancher, Elmer employs Arnie Adams. a naïve but talented young lawyer to obtain Elmer his due. The flaws of the justice system are exposed while Adams fights the lies and notorious defense attorney, Katherine O'Shaughnessy. Elmer struggles to maintain his faith in Arnie and himself despite the odds against them. The outcome can only be described as stark justice for all the characters. A must read for those who want a glimpse of how the justice system really works! "Stark Justice is a fast paced, quick, and stimulating read by an author who knows the courtroom and understands how to bring interesting characters to life. Judge T.W. "Chip" Small brings together his deep wisdom, knowledge and understanding of real people, his observations and familiarity with the courtroom, and his awareness of the strategies employed by trial lawyers on both sides of a case in this entertaining story set in the small towns of Eastern Washington. The reader gets an actual and enjoyable education, an inside view of how the legal process truly works, and the thought process of plaintiffs and defense attorneys, litigants, and insurance companies throughout the proceedings. This is a book to be savored." -John R. "Jack" Connelly, Connelly Law Offices "Retired Judge Chip Small expertly weaves a compelling tale of hope, devastation and triumph, written by a man who saw it all as an attorney for a prestigious law firm and later as a widely respected magistrate. With a gift for flowing prose, Small's writing is reminiscent of the great Dick Francis, the former steeplechase jockey who authored a series of highly popular racing books across the pond. At the center of Stark Justice is a jockey, Elmer Stark, whose promising career is cut short by a freakish tragedy which results in a conclusive civil trial in which Small spares no details on the machinations of the civil justice system." -Vince Bruun, Emerald Downs Racetrack and Casino, Director of Media Relations

Horrific Homicides: A Judge Looks Back at the Amityville Horror Murders and Other Infamous Long Island Crimes
Author: Thomas M. Stark
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 9781665711043
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
A scorned woman, an incensed deli owner, a drunken cop, and an antisocial son. These were the most memorable murder defendants to appear before Long Island judge Thomas M. Stark during his thirty-seven years on the bench. None was more notorious than Ronald DeFeo Jr., who in 1975 was convicted of shooting six members of his family, a crime that sparked tales of hauntings later recounted in the best-selling book The Amityville Horror: A True Story. Drawing from his personal files, Stark gives readers an inside look at the brutal murders, the frenzy over the alleged psychic events that followed, and DeFeo's decades of shifting stories about what really happened that fateful night. The book's other tales of true crime include long-forgotten cases that mesmerized Long Islanders from the 1960s to the 1980s: the murder-for-hire of an unfaithful paramour, a fire that took the lives of a mother and three children, a Southampton society melee, and more. A noted expert on criminal law, Stark delves into the legal issues raised by each murder and shares the thinking behind his rulings. These real-life cases are sure to fascinate fans of both true crime and courtroom drama as Stark brings to life tragic stories of love and betrayal, a feud turned deadly, partying gone awry, and a family killed in cold blood.

Envisioning Legality
Author: Timothy Peters
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317301595
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Envisioning Legality: Law, Culture and Representation is a path-breaking collection of some of the world’s leading cultural legal scholars addressing issues of law, representation and the image. Law is constituted in and through the representations that hold us in their thrall, and this book focuses on the ways in which cultural legal representations not only reflect or contribute to an understanding of law, but constitute the very fabric of legality itself. As such, each of these ‘readings’ of cultural texts takes seriously the cultural as a mode of envisioning, constituting and critiquing the law. And the theoretically sophisticated approaches utilised here encompass more than simply an engagement with ‘harmless entertainment’. Rather they enact and undertake specific political and critical engagements with timely issues, such as: the redressing of past wrongs; recognising and combatting structural injustices; and orienting our political communities in relation to uncertain futures. Envisioning Legality thereby presents a cultural legal studies that provides the means for engaging in robust, sustained and in-depth encounters with the nature and role of law in a global, mediated world.
