Have Gavel, Will Travel: The Extraordinary Life of Sol Wachtler, the Judge Who Brought Down a Corrupt New York Court System

Sol Wachtler was a brilliant and ambitious judge who rose to the pinnacle of the New York State court system. But behind his public persona as a tough-on-crime judge, Wachtler was secretly struggling with drug addiction and mental illness.

In 1992, Wachtler's life spiraled out of control when he was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. The arrest led to a series of revelations about Wachtler's drug use and mental health problems, ultimately forcing him to resign from the bench in disgrace.
