About This Item
New York:: Alfred A. Knopf,, 1933.. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fair condition only in peach colored cloth (dampstaining and crinkling to the front cover and the front endpapers, but most of the text block is unaffected and in good condition), no dust jacket. Uncommon signed. . First printing. Ulman, a U.S. lawyer, jurist, teacher and activist taught at the University of Maryland Law School during 190828 and served as judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore from 1924. In 1932 as a judge, he advocated modernization of the state's divorce laws. In this book he discussed justice in Maryland, based on specific cases he had tried. About the same time, he told a convention of lawyers that the country's penal system "would be ludicrous if it were not so tragic." He was later appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as head of a committee to study prison labor, then appointed him chairman of the newly-created Prison Industries Reorganization Board (193436). This copy is INSCRIBED by Ulman on the front endpaper "To Arthur Blackman who confirmed my good opinion of jurors" - an especially appropriate inscription since much of this book deals with juries. Suggestions for futher reading, index. vii, 289, vi.
