Book Description

September 30, 2004
Here is storytelling at its finest by two well-known North Carolina boys who are no longer with us Bob Terrell, author, columnist, humorist, and reporter who usually wrote his stories down, and Marcellus Buchanan, who more often told his verbally.


These are tales about people at their best and worst - both simple folk and people in high places. Mostly, the stories concern men and women in the public eye because they worked in our legal, judicial, or political systems. Disorder in the Court! contains dozens of hilarious stories from courthouses, lawyers' offices, and police stations all across the great state of North Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silliness in Court, September 7, 2007
By 
Frederick Jee (Borrego Springs, California United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Disorder In The Court! (Paperback)
How can you go to court and not crack a smile or a laugh and get tossed out by the judge for lack of seriousiness after reading this great collection of amazing lawyers and respondents taking themselves way too seriously? I wonder if these folks read their own transcripts would the "I said that???" come up more than once. Funny and great pokes at a serious function of our society. Great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disorder in the Court!, August 6, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Disorder In The Court! (Paperback)
Pretty funny.....We do have the best justice system in the world (I think so) but anything dealing with humans and our many faults is sometimes so funny as this book is. We have to laugh at ourselves and some of the the things we do or say, and our rationale behind it (what we do or say) and not take ourselves so seriously.Very enjoyable book.
