I was a lucky person to get to read "Compassion in the Court" by Frank Caprio, from NetGalley. I had seen a few moments of him on YouTube and Facebook posts. He sat as a judge in Rhode Island. In this book that is divided into parts, He shares of his childhood growing up in Providence Rhode Island. He speaks fondly his parents who came from immigrants. His family was poor but grew up happy and loved. He helped is father deliver milk during his childhood. Went on to college, taught school so he could go to law school at night to become a lawyer.
the other parts of his book he writes of being a lawyer then went on to be a judge. He writes of the cases he had in traffic court and learning to show compassion for some of the people who came in. Some had some tough stories of how they owed these traffic violations. Over some of the years as a judge in traffic court were video taped and some shown on forums like facebook or youtube. Judge Frank Caprio writes of some of these cases and when he used compassion for certain situations. This is why the book is called "Compassion in the Court" he gives examples of what he had learned over the years for not being Judgemental and look at the people and the circumstances that brought them to traffic court. He speaks fondly of his parents who were the first to teach him to care and be kind to others. I very much enjoyed reading his book and the lessons he would like for others to learn and to show compassion for others. good book.
