Seller ID: 900682
xv+269pp. From one of America's best-known adn most successful lawyers, a fascinating look at the majesty and the absurdity of the law and the judicial system. The author's wry humour and low for the law bring its history alive as he presents his reflections on the love-hate relationship with lawyers; the status of lawyers in America today and yesterday; the origins of legal practice in the "not-so-good-old-days"; origins of personal injury law and its development into its extraordinary importance today and some downright silly cases and decisions that make the law sometimes a farce. Index.
