Cops and Writers Podcast
133 From page-turning legal thrillers to the real drama of the circuit court, Judge Martin Clark brings Virginia's law to life.
On today’s show we are going into the courtroom with my special guest, Bestselling Author and His Honor, Judge Martin Clark.
A retired circuit court judge from Patrick County, Virginia, Martin is a cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Davidson College and attended law school at the University of Virginia. When he was appointed to the bench in 1992 at age thirty-two, he became one of the youngest judges in the commonwealth's history. During his time on the bench, he presided over everything from homicides to reckless driving.
Besides being a retired judge, Martin Clark is a bestselling author that Entertainment Weekly said, “hands down, our finest legal-thriller writer.” The New York Times stated he is “the thinking man’s John Grisham.”
In today’s episode we discuss:
· When Martin developed his interest in the law.
· His father’s influence on his career in law.
· Why he was a judge for almost thirty years.
· Some of the more interesting or bizarre cases he presided over.
· Common errors in T.V. or Movies regarding judges and legal proceedings.
· How he persisted for over 20 years of rejection letters and finally landed a big-time publishing deal.
· His upcoming novel, The Plinko Bounce.
· His advice to legal-thriller writers.
