Every Judge Deserves to Be Remembered
Introducing Black Robe,™ the elite imprint for custom legacy books honoring the careers of retiring judges. Created in partnership with bar associations.
Legacy. Dignity. Permanence.
Black Robe™ is a premium publishing imprint from Books for Experts, created to honor the legacy of America’s judiciary through narrative hardcover books.
These are not biographies, but living artifacts – filled with interviews, personal stories, photos and reflections from the bench. Think of it as a judicial portrait that comes to life.
Each book is:
- Ghostwritten by legal professionals.
- Published in limited edition hardcover.
- Commissioned by bar associations, law foundations, firms, or even family.
- Built to last for generations.
“A judicial portrait hangs on a wall. A legacy deserves its proper place on the shelf, or on the mantle.”

A perfect gift from:
- County and State Bar Associations.
- Judicial Retirement Committees.
- Former Clerks or Law Partners.
