Inscription reads Here's a trip back to Champaign. I admire you! Bob Auler BobAuler@aoldotcom. From the moment a bomb explodes in midwestern courthouse, all eyes turn to the suspect. It is left to a small-town lawyer to dig deep to defend an unlikeable guy with some peculiar habits. Written by long-time attorney Robert Isham Auler, it breathes fire and ice, and will even make you laugh on occasion. A first-time novelist with a lot to say and a great way of saying it. Bob Auler (1940-2017) arrived at the University of Illinois in the Fall of 1959. A self-described "activities jock" on campus, Bob was active on the Illini Union Programming Board, the Daily Illini and WPGU. During college, Bob developed a lifelong love of learning, earning a Philosophy degree and attaining the Phi Beta Kappa academic distinction. Auler remained in Champaign, earning his J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law in 1966. Upon completion of his degree, he opened Auler Law Offices. His 52-year legal career as a trial attorney included arguments before the Illinois Supreme Court, an appearance before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and the famous "Dave Wilson case," when he represented the Illinois quarterback against the Big 10 and NCAA. Auler has appeared nationally on news programs such as Larry King Live, 48 Hours and CBS Sunday Morning. In 1989 he took over the Champaign County Colts summer league baseball franchise. Bob was the author of three well-received novels, "Keep and Bear Arms," "Fair and Impartial" and "Cheatin'."
