Judge Dale Segrest

I am a lifelong lover of philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology. I enjoyed very successful careers in the practice of law and serving as a Circuit Court Judge. As I began to consider retirement, and what i would do next, I realized that I had gained valuable experience and knowledge that seemed important to me, and I wanted to share it. I wanted to pursue writing in retirement. So, I created this website to preserve my memoirs, writings and ideas and to make them available to the public. I have lived through interesting times, in an interesting place.

After establishing the page, I decided that the best way to publish my thoughts would be in books: kindle and/or paperback. I had previously published one book that is no longer in print, but can be found on the internet. So, use the site  to describe the books and provide links to bookstores and publishers.

 fThe essays included on this site include discussion of various legal topics: law, theology, politics, race and cultural issues. I reached 80 years of age in 2022, and the threads of thought contained in my books and these essays developed over a lifetime. They intertwine.  This page and the next lead you to the writings that present my ideas. These ideas did not develop in a vacuum, so I use the website to tell my story. My story-my memoirs-describe the environment in which the ideas developed. I explain more about my story on the page titled “about this website.”

I hope you find the site interesting and helpful. I invite your comments and dialogue.  Just scroll down this page to learn more about how to get involved.

Under Construction: A Work in Progress

This Website is still under construction, Many parts are incomplete, I am working on it daily! I have developed this WEBpage without financial assistance. It was very important to me to make the thoughts available, If you like the ideas, and would like to help me devolop them, please let me know with a comment or email!

There are a number of ways that you can become involved in this project:

First, examine the page. Buy a book: Human Faith Withing a Conscious Biosphere is the opus. Read the essays that tell the personal story; read the opinion essays and laity talks.

Write comments; contact me by email, recommend books and the page to your friends; use the material in study groups and classes; organize ZOOM discussions. 

Contact me with recommendations for improving the site or the material; volunteer to assist.  I would really love to hear from scholars who see potential for these ideas.
