This is a charming and amusing history of contemporary Vermont told through stories about legal cases, some well known and others more obscure, that reveal the conflicts and dilemmas faced by its citizens and by their lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. These stories range in tone and mood from sad to hilarious. Included is the story of the milk strike of 1941 during which a deputy sheriff was killed. Another tale relates the conflagration that followed the removal of a stuffed brown trout from its honorary spot in a local bar. Library Journal Vermont attorney Langrock, who represents the good and the not-so-good citizens of his state, has written a witty recollection of his favorite cases. Typical of these cases is one he sees as the most significant accomplishment of his career. Under a federal program, the author helped hire Jamaican workers for the Shoreham Co-operative Apple Growers Association in Vermont's Champlain Valley. But the U.S. Department of Labor threw obstacles in the workers' way as they were being transported to Vermont. Langrock details his efforts on behalf of the apple growers, also describing the proper way to pick McIntosh apples, his trip to Jamaica, and Vermont's agricultural history. In an easy-going style, Langrock comments on the stuffed shirts and self-important people he comes across and speaks affectionately about his clients and his career. Recommended for readers with a love of either the law or Vermont.--Harry Charles, Attorney at Law, St. Louis Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
