Habeas Circus: Illegal Humor

Summary: First, Get This Book, Then Kill All the Lawyers...
Review: Gerson is an extraordinary artist with a sardonic wit who we discovered at the Lemieux Gallery in New Orleans (www.lemieuxgallery.com) while at Jazz Fest. He apparently used to practice law there before he wised up and applied his considerable talents to the canvas full time. We were delighted to see another Gerson show in New York last summer and met the artist/author. For anyone who loves the legal profession (or loves to hate it), gerson's wickedly charming illustrations and bon mots is perfect. I'm sending this to all my legal beagle friends for the holiday.

Review: he really hits the mark with this collection. All the hidden sub-text and absurdity of the legal system, skewered, with a fiendish glint in his eye. A delight!
