The Book Twice Upon a Court is the compelling saga of one woman’s journey from a village on a mountaintop in the Philippines, to a Law Professorship in a University and finally to a thriving law practice in the Island Paradise, Hawaii. In a modest and unassuming manner, Erlinda Dominguez tells step by step the harrowing story of how she came to be attacked and very nearly destroyed, personally and professionally, by members of the Legal Community, who had every reason to be biased and judgmental against her success, yet allowed their biases to influence their judgment. Ms. Dominguez worked hard for the interests of her law clients, who were trying to obtain justice in personal injury cases, and she helped many people gain their rights under the law. When she herself was placed in jeopardy, she had great faith in the American Legal System, an institution that her father had always told her was the finest in the world. Sad but true, a system is only as fine as those who administer it, and they are unfortunately only human after all. The author found herself virtually penniless, deprived of her law office and practice that she had built up from scratch, and beset on every side by unfair and questionable tactics from those who seemed determined to ruin her. She is now telling her story as a testament to truth, and also as a fascinating and in many ways horrifying cautionary tale to those who may be too inclined to trust that people mean what they say. Her first book, Twice Upon a Court is a deeply revealing look behind the scenes of American Jurisprudence, from the point of view of an intelligent and warm-hearted woman who rises to a position of trust from which she is able to win justice for her clients, only to be denied justice for herself. —Roberta Tennant 317 Pages, Quality Paperback Edition,
