LAW/SOCIAL COMMENTARY

"Can we get some reality in here?" asks Judy Sheindlin, former supervisingjudge for Manhattan Family Court. For twenty-four years she has laid downthe law as she understands it:

• If you want to eat, you have to work.

• If you have children, you d better support them.

• If you break the law, you have to pay.

• If you tap the public purse, you d better be accountable.

Now she abandons all judicial restraint in a scathing critique of thesystem—filled with realistic hard-nosed alternatives to our bloated welfarebureaucracy and our soft-on-crime laws.

"Stuffed with terrifying tales of juvenile crime. Frightening but fascinating."

—USA Today

"Should be required reading for anyone who cares about law and order: howit has been undermined and what can be done to fix it."

—New York Daily News

"She makes advocates of Tough Love look like marshmallow liberals. . . .Pithy and opinionated, with many real-life case histories, this book is an eye-opener for the politically left and an 'All Right!' cheer for the right."

—Publishers Weekly

Judy Sheindlin is the presiding judge for Judge Judy, a nationally syndicateddaily television show based on real court cases. She lives in New York Citywith her husband, Jerry, a New York Supreme Court judge.

Josh Getun is a correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and is based in NewYork Citv.
