Funny Stories From the Life and Bench of Judge Lillian Stevens
Ever wonder what it’s like to see the funny from the point of view of a
funny Superior Court Judge? Well, you’re in luck, because in this book,
Janet Stegman, daughter of Judge Lillian M. Stevens, has compiled a
collection of stories from the life and bench of Judge Stevens as told
by the Judge to Janet from the time she was
a toddler. Lawyers, judges, and just plain
old folks will love reading these tales. Being
one of the first female judges in American
jurisprudence, you can imagine how funny
it must have been for Judge Stevens when
everywhere she went, it was assumed that
she was not the Judge, but rather the wife of
the Judge standing next to her, or the break
room maid. Judge Stevens approached
all of her foibles and those of others with a
hilarious sense of humor, taking everything
in stride. Judge Stevens went to “share a
green beer” with Jesus on St. Patrick’s Day
2017, and so her daughter, author Janet
Stegman (Sandcastles: Tools for Letting
Go of Addiction and the Pain of the Past),
has memorialized the highlights of Stevens’
life in her honor for future generations to
enjoy. My Mother the Comedian . . . I Mean
Superior Court Judge is a delightful walk down memory lane with a
Judge who lived, loved, and laughed her way through life.
