 With
J. Stanley Shaw, Golden wrote I Rest My Case: My Long
Journey from the Castle on the Hill to Home, a memoir that
chronicles Shaw's life from his childhood years under the
supervision of the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum in the 1930s
to his career as one of the preeminent bankruptcy attorneys in
the U.S. Shaw's colorful and often poignant reminiscences take
us from Depression-era Brooklyn, through his years at Columbia
University and New York Law School, his early setbacks at the
hands of an unscrupulous real estate developer who left him
one million dollars in debt, the political education he
received as a leader of the New York Liberal Party during the
1960s and 1970s, and his groundbreaking legal work in
corporate bankruptcy. All proceeds from the sale of the book
are donated to the Association for Adults and Children With
Learning Disabilities (ACLD), a not-for-profit organization
that assists more than 2,500 infants, children and their
families.

Case was published by
