I first became familiar with this judge watching short videos of his court room on social media. I always loved how he took each individuals life circumstances into consideration.

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.

He also writes of being a lawyer then went on to be a judge. He speaks 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. High recommend thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and this amazing man for the arc to read and review.

I became a fan of Judge Caprio through YouTube - I was drawn to his compassion for the people who came into his courtroom. This book is the story of how that compassion was birthed in him and the interesting story of his life thus far.

Judge Caprio's lessons are valuable ones and I find the Judge very inspirational. His book was very easy to read and the only thing that would make this better is hearing it in his own voice by audiobook.

I receive complimentary books for various sources, including Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation.

very well written memoir discussing Justice Caprio's cases and how he found you need to show compassion and be understanding as an attorney and a judge. 5 stars. tysm for the arc.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this book. In Compassion in the Court: Life-Changing Stories from America's Nicest Judge you get to read about Judge Frank Caprio. Judge Frank Caprio first caught my attention on a Facebook post. His treatment of people in his courtroom was inspiring. He tells his family history and his life story. He also tells some stories about cases that were in his courtroom. The way Judge Caprio ran his courtroom should be an example to all Judges. I already had a great respect for him prior to reading this book but after reading this book I am in absolute awe of him. I did not want to put this book down once I starting reading it. This book is heartwarming. I may have needed a tissue a time or two due to how good of a person Frank Caprio is and his acts of kindness. If you read one biography this year, make it this book.
