Winnipeg: Rockwood Press 978-0-9784580-0-3 [978-0-9784580-0-3] 2007. (Trade paperback) 308pp. Very good. Signed with an inscription by the author. Photographs. The spine is lightly faded. "The rule of law requires memory. It needs written records, oral witnesses and, above all, people like former Associate Chief Justice Hamilton, working within the legal system, dedicated to truth-finding. The rule of force, on the other hand, relies on material strength, and seeks success at any price. The first rule exists to subdue the second, usually in a court of law. Both produce heroes and villains. Al Hamilton recounts a series of courtroom stories that reveal his life's commitment to the rule of law". Book about A.C. Hamilton.

Description:
Pub'd by author, 2007. Near fine! Paper bound, first edition, Pp308. Tight and clean - a very good or better copy. 450 grams. From the blurb on the rear cover: Each chapter in Country Lawyer, City Judge takes us inside the allegations of foibles, tragedies, broken promises and predations that daily parade through our judicial system. As a lawyer, Hamilton treats everyone with equal empathy, whether accused or victim. As a judge, he brings quiet dignity and tough-minded principle to each case, always championing law over force, reason over emotion, fairness over self-interest. This is especially true for the new light he sheds on the cases of Helen Betty Osborne, of J.J. Harper, and the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry. We welcome all reasonable offers on our books. All books in stock and available for immediate shipment from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
