Delaware County Must Read

If you live in Pennsylvania, especially in Delaware County,as I do, you can't miss this book. If you have ever been involved in the legal system or politics in any way, and even if you haven't, you will recognize the people in this book. Luzerne County "Kids for Cash" hadn't even hit yet when this book was written. Pennsylvania has a well deserved reputation nationwide for having the most corrupt judiciary in the Country. Read why it happened.

Truth Always Beats Fiction

If you're a reader of Grisham or Turow - take some time to read this book. Novels by both give you crime, suspense, mystery and courtroom drama. This book by Robert Surrick gives you the same - but it's not a novel. Unfortunately, it happens to be factual. This is a fast, interesting read - with enough twists and turns to make it impossible to put the book down. Not only is this a must read for lawyers, it's a compelling read for non-lawyers as well.

A Modern David Vs. Goliath

This book, for the uninitaitated, is a pointed look at Pennsylvania's corrupt legal and judicial system as seen through the eyes of Robert Surrick, Esq. Surrick gives chase to those in the legal system who don't pass his ethical standards and he is not afraid to name names and point fingers at the accused. This book offers a never before look at the trials and tribulations of a court system gone awry--from political pandering to nepotism, Surrick writes of his steadfast convictions for ridding the legal system of those who've taken their positions of power too far-often times at his own expense, both personal and professional. Surrick is captivating as a story teller and his book should be mandatory reading for all lawyers-present and future. A great read!
