"'You've spoiled me, Claudia, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find another judge so easily corruptible.'
'Let's hope not.'
'Getting religion in your later years?'
'No, I'm just tired of working. I had to take a child away from its mother today...So as she's leaving, the mother announces in open court, 'Hey, no big deal, I'm already pregnant again.'
'What an awful way to make a buck.'
'I'm tired of it. Stealing from the Indians is much more enjoyable.'"
- Excerpt from The Whistler, by John Grisham [Note: This is a great novel. Hard to put it down! It centers around a crooked judge, organized crime, and an Indian run casino]
"As a very young lawyer, from the books that I'd read

And I studied the rules of the game."
-Joe Swan, as quoted in Justice Overruled, by Judge Burton S. Katz
