Judges receive legal training, but they cannot automatically be given courage and the wisdom of Solomon. That is what is needed when larger-than-life socialite the Marquise d'Espard petitions Judge Jean-Jules Popinot to declare her husband mad. He is not mad, of course. But she is - mad that he is spending their money on another family. As the judge digs deeper, he discovers the heartbreaking reason why the Marquis was helping the Jeanrenauds. With the pressure building, he prepares to deliver his verdict... Fans of the courtroom dramas in Charles Dickens' 'Bleak House' and Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird' will love 'The Commission in Lunacy'.
