“Civics, Law, and Justice” has a 5.0-star rating on Amazon.com. Here’s what some people had to say:

“An easy and insightful read. The short chapters are great for those of us who do not have large chunks of alone time. Each chapter examines a single topic or a few related issues, helping to keep the reader focused. The writing style – to include a catchy title to chum the water and bring the reader in, a hook setting up the topic; an engaging story, sprinkled with humor, to reel in the reader; and landed by a relatable – incites even the most reluctant reader to move from chapter to chapter. As entertaining the book is, it is more educational. So much of America’s legal system is learned in Judge Smith’s short, relatable stories. ‘Civics, Law, and Justice’ could serve as a primer for any civics class.” – Karl Hook

“Judge Smith’s book has provided enjoyment while enlightening me on a host of legal questions. I wish I could have had something like this while taking Civics in high school so long ago. He’s managed to provide a condensed version while giving background, data and examples of our legal system while using language which the average reader can understand without a Law degree! Each chapter title is an interesting launch into various judicial topics, for example, Chapter 30, “She Slashed a Hole in All Four Tires” explains “criminal mischief.” Entertaining education! Thank you, Judge Smith!” – Virginia Lindquist
