In his previous book, “Claremont Boy” (Bauhan Publishing, 2014), Joe Steinfield shared stories about a variety of subjects – family members and other people in his life, his love of sports, travel and the arts and his Claremont years.
The first part of his new book, “Time for Everything,” picks up where that book left off, with tributes to friends and heroes and essays on being Jewish, sports and humor, health and politics. These pieces were originally published in the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript.
Part two of the book, “Thinking About the Law,” contains pieces about the rule of law, the Constitution and the Supreme Court. Most of the articles in this section were previously published in The Keene Sentinel and some first appeared in the Concord Monitor.
Steinfield was born and raised in Claremont, where he graduated from Stevens High School in 1957. He is a graduate of Brown University (1961) and Harvard Law School (1964). He was formerly a partner at Hill & Barlow in Boston and became at partner at the Boston firm of Prince LobelTye in 2003. He specializes in litigation and First Amendment law.
He is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and has taught First Amendment law at Boston College Law School and at University of New Hampshire, Franklin Pierce School of Law and at universities in several foreign countries. He teaches constitutional law to senior citizens at Keene State College’s lifelong learning program.
Steinfield and his wife, Virginia Eskin, live in Keene and in Jaffrey.
