To North Carolina,

which has given me more than I can ever repay.

Here’s to the land of the long leaf pine,

The summer land where the sun doth shine,

Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great,

Here’s to “down home,” the Old North State!

—Official North Carolina Toast

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

My thanks to all the members of the North Carolina Association of District Court Judges, who over the years have let me sit in on their conferences, shared their stories of humor and heartbreak, and answered my endless questions. I could not have written these books without their generous help.
