Homecoming of the Same Man: The Journey of a Middle Aged Law Student by Lian Goh starts out asking a law classroom, exactly how does law really work? This question becomes the premise for Nick Goldwin’s journey, leaving his public service job to enroll in law school and try to understand the system from the inside. His choices came at a time when his wife, Linda, tragically lost her life in a car accident, caused by a driver looking down to get a tape and running a red light. Initially, the Crown charges the reckless driver with “dangerous driving causing death.” Then, just as quickly, justice was diminished to careless driving resulting in his license being suspended for a year, “and a maximum fine of seven hundred fifty dollars.” Nick is told at the end of everything that this is just how the law works.
