Judge Frederic Block, a long-time federal district court judge, has written a book which describes the experience of a human being punishing other human beings. Judge Block does this by telling the stories of some of the cases that he has handled since coming on the bench in 1994. Each of the cases is compelling and Judge Block is a great storyteller. Each evokes important issues concerning our criminal justice system. Judge Block is candid in sharing his thinking and his feelings as he approached imposing punishments in these instances. He is remarkably self-reflective, often describing his concerns that his religion or the unfounded accusations against him or his recent reading might be unduly influencing the sentences he is imposing. Along the way, he tells us a lot about the workings of the federal courts and also about his life.
This is a book that can be enjoyed simply for its stories and its humanity. It is about the crimes people commit and what a judge considers in punishing them. It is accessible to lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
Frederic Block was appointed United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York in 1994. He received a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and an LLB degree from Cornell Law School. Judge Block has been described by Alan Ellis, a nationally recognized authority on sentencing and a past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, as a “legendary sentencing judge.” After 25 years on the bench, Judge Block continues to maintain a full caseload. He also regularly sits by designation on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where he has authored over a dozen opinions. Judge Block recently authored the “reality-fiction” novel “Race to Judgment,” after having written his highly acclaimed memoir “Disrobed, An Inside Look at the Life and Work of a Federal Trial Judge.” He also coauthored the 1985 off-Broadway musical “Professionally Speaking,” and has published many articles on a variety of legal topics.
