Had to read this for a legal writing course in law school. Basically teaches you that judges make things up as they go along so that they can reach the decision they want. I'm not sure that's what I was supposed to take away from the class (especially since the professor is a former judge), but that's what I got and, if your honest with yourself, that's what you'll get, too.
