Critic Reviews

“Nancy Morrison, writes about her experiences on the bench with uncommon candour, intelligence and a welcome dose of humour.” (Jack Batten, The Toronto Star)

“I never had to appear before Judge Morrison and I would like to keep it that way. Benched is a truly fascinating book - a must read - Nancy made me say that or face solitary.” (Vicki Gabareau)
