	Biography of Sol Wachtler
		The achievements of Wachtler have been greatly overshadowed and forgotten due to his scandalous affair with socialite Joy Silverman, which led to the judge's subsequent arrest and imprisonment for harassment.

		Caher illustrates Wachtler's impact on the national scene, through his judicial and administrative decisions, his role in shaping the court, and influencing other judges to follow his lead in ground-breaking, and often controversial cases.
