Summary
  • "A book about lawbreaking federal judges, the secret disciplinary system that protects them, and brave women who blew the whistle"--
  • 2007. A federal court employee, McBroom had to flee her job as a case manager in Galveston, Texas, after enduring years of sexual harassment and assault by her boss-- US District Judge Samuel Kent. Olsen, an investigative reporter, charts McBroom's assault and the aftermath. Investigating the story and other federal judicial misconduct matters nationwide was shocking. Kent was being protected by a secretive court system that has long tolerated or ignored complaints about corruption, sexism, and sexual misconduct. Olsen also reveals the role the press plays in holding systems of power in check. -- adapted from jacket
