Pineles' memoir describes his formative years, his legal and judicial career in Vermont spanning three decades, and then his improbable journey as a rule of law adviser in Russia, Kazakhstan and Georgia, followed by an international judgeship in Kosovo. There, he adjudicated serious cases of war crimes, judicial corruption, murder, narcotics trafficking, and the notorious Medicus human organ trafficking case that garnered worldwide media attention.
