County courthouses around the country have always been the arbitrators of disputes and conflicts that arise in a community. As a trial lawyer for nearly 40 years, Peter Langrock provides a unique perspective on how such events can change both a community and the practice of law in general. His view emerges from cases involving such well-known figures as Leo Durocher, Pearl Buck, and John Zaccaro as well as the stories of ordinary people whose names mean very little but whose stories hold universal appeal.

A Great Lawyer-Storyteller Recounts Tales of Smalltown Cases,
By
This review is from: Addison County Justice: Tales from a Vermont Court House (Hardcover)
A wonderful book full of captivating stories of real people who come into contact with the legal system in rural Vermont. Langrock has a gift of storytelling and humor. Though he is a great lawyer, he may have missed his calling. I read Addison County Justice in a day.
