    Ten years after a notorious murder trial divided the country, ten of the people who shaped the verdict are invited to a remote inn on the Maine coast for a glossy "Ten Years Later" documentary. The producers promise new evidence. The marketing promises closure. The storm promises isolation. But when the tide seals the causeway, it becomes clear someone didn't come for catharsis, someone came for correction. One by one, secrets unravel and old loyalties fracture, forcing a darker question: What do we call justice when the truth dies first?

    In the courtroom, Judge Malcolm Tate presides over small claims cases with sharp intellect, unwavering authority, and a razor-sharp wit. From unpaid loans and property damage to messy business disputes and personal conflicts, he cuts through the nonsense and demands the truth. With his trusted bailiff, Andre Foster, by his side, Judge Tate ensures that every case is handled with efficiency, fairness, and just the right amount of attitude. Inspired by Judge Judy and Judy Justice, this book delivers fast-paced courtroom drama where facts matter, excuses don't, and every litigant gets exactly what they deserve. Like Judge Judy, Judge Tate has no patience for long-winded stories, irrelevant details, or dishonest tactics. He asks direct questions, expects clear answers, and isn't afraid to call out deception when he sees it. His rulings are final, his logic is airtight, and his one-liners are unforgettable. Each case in Tate's Court follows the structure of real small claims trials. The judge is already familiar with the case files, allowing him to jump straight into questioning. Evidence is examined piece by piece, witness testimony is scrutinized, and every decision is based on legal reasoning. Some litigants come prepared, others try to talk their way out of trouble-but in Judge Tate's courtroom, only the truth stands. Whether it's a landlord suing for unpaid rent, a taxi driver disputing embezzlement charges, or a business deal gone wrong, every case brings tension, humor, and unexpected twists. Judge Tate doesn't just resolve disputes-he delivers justice with style. If you love the drama of real courtroom battles and the no-nonsense rulings of Judge Judy, Tate's Court is your front-row seat to justice, served with sharp wit and undeniable authority.

    Rating: Teen (political tension, implied oppression, legal brinkmanship) Content / Trigger Notes: coercive governance themes, cultural suppression (non-graphic), political intimidation, tense negotiations. For a hundred years, the Galactic Council celebrated Humanity as a "success story": a once- isolated Deathworld species uplifted into the harmony of interstellar law. But the fine print kept growing. Treaty addenda became cultural mandates. Cultural mandates became enforcement. Enforcement became ownership. Then, without warning, Earth transmits a single, immaculately polite missive: Humanity revokes its own membership due to Cultural Irreconcilability. The Council panics- because the treaties were never meant to be escapable... and because the humans wrote their exit clause a century ago. And yes I admit it, I recycled names etc. from numerous other #HFY & #HaSO stories.

    What happens when you trade your briefcase for a book of contract spells? You lawyer your way through Hell, of course. Karl Morrison was a sharp-witted corporate lawyer from Chicago until he got truck-kun'd into a fantasy world with a bureaucracy problem. The kingdom is hemorrhaging lives to reality-tearing Void Tears, but the Church wants six months of purification rituals before maybe asking the gods for help. Karl has a better idea: skip the divine red tape and negotiate directly with Hell's management. His party thinks he's insane. The Archdevil thinks he's insufferable. They're probably both right. But when Karl's "simple contract negotiation" spirals into a cosmic legal battle involving stolen documents, ancient dragons, and a courtroom that exists between dimensions, he discovers that some problems can't be solved with clever clauses and emergency provisions. To save his friends, Karl unleashes powers that terrify even him-and wins a victory that might cost more than defeat ever could. Now his allies-a disillusioned cleric questioning divine patience, a weary paladin watching his principles crumble, and a pragmatic rogue who's seen too much-are beginning to wonder: Is the man they're following their savior, or something far more dangerous? Because in a world where gods work on retainer and devils offer payment plans, Karl Morrison is discovering that the most binding contracts are the ones you make with yourself. And some legal precedents can't be overturned. The only question is: how far will he go for the "greater good"?

    Legal Thriller, based on TRUE STORY of a Young Lawyers Journey into Underground World of Corruption (Draft in Progress) In a shocking expose, Attorney Leslie Frank pulls back the curtain on her state Bar's disciplinary system, revealing a web of corruption, intimidation, and retaliation against lawyers who threaten the establishment. With candid vulnerability, Attorney Leslie Frank recounts her own harrowing experience, where she found herself targeted for her outspoken advocacy and large public following. Through meticulous documentation and dogged determination, Attorney Leslie Frank uncovered a pattern of misconduct within the Bar, including extortion, evidence tampering, and a deliberate campaign to discredit attorneys who challenge the status quo. She details how the Bar manipulates public perception by selectively publishing damaging filings while suppressing responses and evidence of innocence. Attorney Leslie Frank's investigation led her to connect with disbarred attorneys, finding that many were silenced for their whistleblowing efforts rather than any legitimate misconduct. She realized that the system is designed to punish those who expose its flaws, rather than uphold justice or protect the public. With her own freedom and reputation on the line, Attorney Leslie Frank made the agonizing decision to strategically play along with the Bar, feigning cooperation and contrition in a desperate bid to prevent her own silencing. Yet, she knew that as long as she held her license, the truth would remain suppressed. This explosive memoir is a call to arms for transparency and reform within the legal profession. Attorney Leslie Frank's battle serves as a stark reminder that the fight for justice often begins within the justice system itself. Will her courage inspire a movement, or will the forces of corruption prevail?

    Based on a true investigation. In the digital age, you are guilty until you pay to be proven innocent. Anaximandro Gochi is a Senior Litigation Partner who thought he had seen it all-from street-level racketeering to white-collar fraud. But he has never faced a criminal like TraderKnows. It operates from the shadows of the internet, a website (https://www.traderknows.com/) that claims to protect investors. In reality, it is a ruthless algorithm designed to destroy reputations for profit. It doesn't hunt people; it hunts data. It scrapes government databases for new company names-like the ghost project StdAmeRiTradingPlatforms or the quiet OneYeeHolding-and automatically brands them as "Scams" before they even launch. When the victims beg for mercy, the machine offers a solution: Pay the ransom. This is the story of Operation Glass House. It is a look inside the legal war room as one lawyer attempts to unmask a Hong Kong-based phantom that has no address, no face, but a very real hunger for money. They thought they were invisible. They were wrong.
