how judicious is our judicial system,
By Narayan Radhakrishnan (Trivandrum, Kerala, India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Court TV's You Be the Judge: 100 Incredible, Provocative, and Fascinating Real-Life Cases (Mass Market Paperback)
How judicious is our judicial system?Is justice served in all cases or does justice actually depend upon what the judge had for breakfast? Patrick J. Sauer has compiled 100 of the most offbeat cases presented in Court TV, cases ranging from the silly to the preposterous, from complex to intriguing, & has left it to the Reader to judge how a case should be decided. The various cases presented tickle the legal/judicial mind of the reader, & though presented in a humorous style, it showcases how our judicial system falters in many an occasion. Cases presented include a charge of assault against Bill Cosby by an unwelcome paparazzo; parents of a boy suing a store owner where a soda machine fell on their son & killed him, while he was trying to steal soda from it, & a preposterous trial of a woman who sued her employers for putting her in a room with a co-worker suffering from excessive flatulence. The compilation is witty & wide-ranging, from civil law & torts to privacy & anti-trust laws. Most such books do not rise above that of anecdotal rehashing. Good works on satire & humour in law are scarce. Save for Leland Gregory's Presumed Ignorant, a classic compilation of funny & dumb decisions taken by our legislators & judges, & Eric Choodak's (Ed.) It Takes Two Judges to Try A Cow and Other Strange Legal Twists, about the quirks & flaws of the legal system, there have been few books that rise above the sensational anecdote. Court Tv: You Be the Judge, adequately fills the vacuum.
