Re: RARA-AVIS: Erle Stanley Gardner

 "JIM DOHERTY" < jimdohertyjr@yahoo.com> discussed Gardner's writing career.

And wasn't he the first, Jim, to set up a "Court of Last Resort" for convicts who claimed innocence? IIRC, he did this with the proceeds of his books, which he wrote amazingly quickly because he was a fast typist, and he published his court's results in magazine articles and maybe a book.

Joy, tempted to reread an early one to check the prose per JD
