Book Description

Publication Date: August 5, 2001

Attorneys are rarely at a loss for words -- and here's another volume of them that's sure to please any member of the legal profession. A revised and expanded edition of our original Lawyer's Wit and Wisdom, this handsome, giftworthy book boasts more than 125 new quotations and twenty new anecdotes. Sources include such legal eagles as Alan Dershowitz, Kenneth Starr, Marcia Clark, Sandra Day O'Connor, and Martin Luther King. For comic relief, editors have included a few pungent notions from Richard Fish, fictional attorney on the television show Ally McBeel, as well as other wise observers of the courtroom scene.

This review is from: The New Lawyer's Wit And Wisdom: Quotations On The Legal Profession, In Brief (Hardcover)

I found this little book to be very entertaining.I have a lawyer friend and always pick up these "Lawyer" books for him when I see them.As a fan of one-liners these books are some of the best.
Usually the Lawyer jokes are pretty mean ,but this book tends more to good humor,wit and a lot of stories, experiences, plus some deep seated wisdom.The book gives the source of each quip and has a very helpful Index of Names where you can look for a quote.
For example:
Otto von Bismark,Prussian Prince (1815-1898)
"If you like laws and sausages,you should never watch
either being made."
This little,but thick book has 288 pages ,quotes from over 400
people giving one or two quotes and others giving 3,4 or 5.
These people come from every walk of life and will surely
include many of your favorite people.
Here,s what Mae West had to say:
"It ain't no sin to crack a few laws now and then,just so
long as you don't break any."
And here is another good one:

"FOR A GOOD TIME, HIRE A HOOKER.
FOR A LOT OF TIME,HIRE MY ATTORNEY."

A great little tome for a hot afternoon with a cool drink in the shade.
