In the inimitable words of the author who spent more than 20 years feeding the political machine, then another 30 years serving on the Bench of the Maryland Judiciary, Judge Steven I. Platt takes you on a journey of critical thinking, social and legal analysis, and humorous perspicacity in The Winding Road: Criminal Courts, Civil Matters, and the Ongoing Quest for Access to Justice.
Judge Platt tackles criminal justice reform on a state and national level and addresses its critics on both sides of the aisle while addressing complex subjects, such as counterterrorism and the death penalty. He discusses what access to justice really means and the explosive growth of alternative dispute resolution and its role in achieving justice.
The Winding Road is one of three compilations of Judge Platt’s timeless writings published as a popular political column in The Daily Record in Baltimore and on his blog, “A Pursuit of Justice: The Intersection of Law, Economics, and Politics.” Judge Platt has traveled to various countries as a consultant and observer and has witnessed, presided over, and mediated thousands of cases, many of which involved notable political figures, as well as some colorful rogues and scoundrels.
