"
I've written about it extensively in my book, Doing Justice.
It was a commemoration of the publication of his book, Doing Justice in Ukrainian. He explained that the event was organized by Just Group, a Ukrainian NGO, and that their mission is to transform the criminal justice system in Ukraine into a fair, efficient, and human-centered system. The Just Group fundraised and got the book published in Ukrainian, and they invited the prosecutor general of Ukraine, Andrei Kostin, who wrote the forward to the edition.
"
It was a commemoration of the publication of my book, Doing Justice in Ukrainian.
The book discusses the importance of human beings doing what is right, even when laws are just on paper, and how people are the ones who ultimately make justice happen. It was translated into Ukrainian and published there.
"
They even invited the prosecutor general of Ukraine, Andrei Kostin, who wrote the foreword to the edition.
In his remarks, Kostin emphasized a point that I make in the book repeatedly, that no matter how just our laws are as written, how just our constitution is as written, at the end of the day, justice is done by people, by human beings.
And we as individuals must do our best to do what's right.
The publication of the book in Ukraine came with its own challenges.
He said at one point that they had managed to edit and translate a third of the book, but then they had to pause in February of 2022.

And I talked about the case in a chapter they read from my book involving a substantial amount of pension fraud that went on at the Long Island Railroad.
Yeah, I remember those kind of issues never stopped you.
And we decided to go forward.
What is clear to me is that there's no slam dunk case that the Manhattan DA's office has without a cooperating witness.
And the reason I talk about that is not to say, well, we're great and EDNY is soft. It's to say these are difficult decisions, difficult deliberations.

Episode: Playing God (with Eric Lander)
Preet Bharara briefly discussed a chapter on judges in his book, 'Doing Justice', where he reflected on the expectations and challenges faced by judges in their roles, particularly the importance of treating lawyers and defendants with respect.
"
And there's lots of different things that are difficult in the life of a judge, in the work of a judge. And we ask them, as I say in my chapter, we ask them to be perfect, we ask them to be real, we ask them to be meticulous, we ask them to be infallible.
I recite a story in my book that hopefully has had some resonance with judges who hadn't thought of this issue before, but in my experience, typically judges in the Southern District of New York address the parties at the beginning of a proceeding.

Episode: Intelligence Reporting (with Mark Mazzetti)
Preet Bharara mentioned his book 'Doing Justice' when discussing interrogation techniques and how brutality is not often the most effective method, referencing a chapter on interrogations.
"
Actually, I write in the beginning of my chapter in the book, Doing Justice, on interrogation. We see image after image and scene after scene of the doomsday clock ticking and torture is the only way to get relevant and important actionable information.
But then as I write in the real world, where testosterone doesn't flow in the streets like a river, people understand that there are better, more effective ways to get information.
And I give these examples in the book as well. You think one minute they're planning to kill hundreds or thousands of Americans and the only way to get them to talk is to be brutal back to them.
So you might recall Donald Trump on the campaign trail back in 2015, who's the consummate example of a person who's trying to pretend to be a tough guy.
There was a detective I used to work with, Kenny Robbins, who when he picked up a narcotics defendant and wanted that person to flip, meaning cooperate against other people in connection with the conspiracy, the way that you use that person for the purposes of law enforcement is you get them to confess what they did and you get them to tell you about what other people did.
Episode: What is Justice? (with Michael Sandel)
Preet Bharara's book, which was mentioned as having the word 'justice' in the title, was described as being about justice being an ongoing thing, defined by process, fairness, and rights.
"
As I say in my own book, which has the word justice in the title, justice is a broad and hazy subject. It is one of the most elusive and debatable concepts known to humankind. And disagreements over its meaning have spawned revolutions, religions, and civil wars.
The reason I titled my book, Doing Justice, using a verb, is because justice is something that is an ongoing thing.
Episode: Crime & Politics (with Rachel Barkow)
Preet Bharara thanked Rachel Barkow for providing intelligent edits that helped to improve his book, 'Doing Justice'.
