Solomon Had It Easier

Well, it's true, Solomon did have it easier! After all, apart from that thing with the two women and the baby, what demanding cases did he try? Anyway, the Old Testament sage was a king, so had a good deal of latitude. The modern judge is more circumscribed and must try to extract justice from a morass of laws created by others.

All were culled from those tried by the judge during his last year on the benchMoody, Barrie is the author of 'Solomon Had It Easier' with ISBN 9780595268030 and ISBN 059526803X.
