A rare and unusual film, not fishing for commercial success, but a spectacular illustration of the anxiety and pressures that accompany a judicial calling, of mechanically issuing decisions in disputes without sparing many thoughts for the lives, liberties, properties, or happiness of the litigants upturned thereby, and the grave and painful personal cost it carries.
