He has appeared as a paid keynote speaker in over two hundred law-related professional education seminars and as guest lecturer in trial and discovery procedures for the University of San Diego School of Law and the California Western University School of Law.
City of San Diego Mayor Frank Curran�s Letter of Commendation for Outstanding Community Leadership is one of many accolades Richard left behind when he retired from the courtroom.

A VALUABLE REFERENCE TOOL FOR WRITERS AND FAMILIES
As the author of eleven published mystery and suspense novels, I find Richard Orey's book, How to be Smart, Shrewd & Cunning--Legally!, to be a wonderful reference tool when encountering questions that need answering about our American justice system and courtroom procedure. Since it is important that my manuscripts be credible and believable when it comes to the inevitable storyline encounters of my characters with laws, law violations, police, lawyers and the intricate workings of the courthouse, Orey's book is a valuable reference.
This book by Richard Lee Orey is comprehensive, easy to use and understand. On those occasions when the text deals with such technical subjects as state courts versus federal courts, Mr. Orey gives clarifying everyday examples so we can understand the difference and the importance of each.
Author Richard Lee Orey's book deals with Justice and the Justice System, Promises and Agreements, Injuries to Person and Property, and Unlawful Punishable Conduct, each category with its own Review and Workshop Sections. Three other groupings deal with highlighting high-interest subjects regarding Caregivers, Credit Reports, Health Care Directives, Juvenile Court, Living Trusts and Shoplifting.
Anyone looking for in-depth substantive information on a particular topic probably needs to hire a lawyer. However, if you want to learn how to legally protect yourself, or find information related to law, justice, and the justice system that gives credibility to the writing of your novel, this is a great book to keep handy on your desktop: How to be Smart, Shrewd & Cunning--Legally!
