Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This volume is a sharp and analytical exposition of the American Probate System as seen through the lens of a widow who, upon the death of her husband, was compelled to traverse the labyrinthine corridors and frustrating bureaucratic processes of a legal system that is, according to the author, systematically biased against independent women. The author's journey into the Probate Court system presented her with a cast of characters at once absurd and exasperating. From the self-important judge hidden behind an ermine cloak to the obsequious court clerks and the unctuous lawyers, each figure serves to illustrate the dehumanizing aspects of a legal system that reduces living people to mere cogs in an uncaring machine. The author's writing is sarcastic and amusing, but her underlying purpose is a serious one. This book is a thoughtful and incisive commentary on a little understood institution that, despite its venerable history, is woefully out of step with present expectations of justice and equality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
