Summary: The third in Sevilla's series of legal humor
Review: Another fun romp through the legal system by Sevilla. Apparently having exhausted all the legal anecdotes he could find in the first two, this one is based on contributions from lawyers all across the country (most notably the Menendez brothers' lawyer, Leslie Abramson). As usual, stupid defendants, wild witnesses, hapless lawyers, careless judges, and a bevy of other legal personnel, make for a fine afternoon's reading and a good addition to your library of legal humor.

Summary: The snippets I've seen sound good
Review: Haven't read the whole thing. But some quotes from the book are circulating on the net. Samples: Q: Do you know if your daughter has ever been involved in the voodoo A: We both do. Q: Voodoo? A: We do. Q: You do? A: Yes, voodoo. Q: You were not shot in the fracas? A: No, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel.

Summary: Funny One
Review: I love to read or hear stories of people's mistakes, not so much because I like to laugh at people, but because it makes me feel better about my own mistakes -- I know I'm not alone. I did enjoy this book generally, but I have to say that I was quite disappointed in the number of exchanges included that were off-color and/or foul-mouthed. I know that in many ways this just reflects people in real life, but this is precisely why these aren't so funny. It's the things that are out of the ordinary that that catch me off guard and make me laugh.

Summary: Disorder in the Review
Review: The 2nd book of 2 by Charles M. Sevilla that takes a humorous look at the goings on in courtrooms around the country. I'm sure that a lot of you have gotten the e-mail with excerpts from this book (which is what prompted me to buy the book and the 1st "Disorderly Conduct"). I enjoyed this book and got some chuckles out loud. Anyone in or around the legal professions should find this book amusing. Amusing illustrations illuminate some of the quotes. There are bits of this book that are more amusing than others, but what I find amusing you may not. I still feel that there is enough in this book to make everyone smile (if not chuckle). An interesting addition to this book are the names and cities of the people who submitted the quotes to Mr. Sevilla (there was even one from my home town of West Chester). Which I guess now would be a good time to add - the author originally wrote a column that used this type of humor (and quotes) prompting people from around the country to start sending him their additions. After a while he had enough for 2 books. Over all this is a good book. It would be great for the beach - pick it up, put it down and pick it up again, no worrying about loosing your place in the story.

Summary: Light reading with a different twist
Review: This is a good book to kill time and find some good stories to tell. Many of these tales have come across my desk as emails and they will likely provide a lot more material. Worth the price but some of the material streches the imagination.

Summary: Funny
Review: This is a great book for everyone. It is a book of humerous stuff people actually said in court. It is a very good book that you should add to your collection today. An example is: "Your son, the twenty year old, how old is he?" Buy this book! You will not regret it!! :)

Summary: A great read and very funny too!
Review: When I decide to review a book, I try to pick subject that interest me and law is one of those subjects. This book has very little to with the practice of law and very much to do with the lighter side of the law. It will entertain you for hours as you read through the pages. In just over 250 pages you will find some of the funniest things ever said in a courtroom. You'll read what lawyers; witnesses, jurors, judges, defendants and plaintiffs have said if you pay attention you'll find yourself on the ground laughing. A book that took just one hour to complete from cover to cover has provided a very bright start to the New Year. The sidesplitting questions and answers are sure to make everyone laugh. A certain must have for everyone in the legal field. Written by a practicing lawyer and taken from actual court transcripts you'll get a first hand look at not so serious side of the system of jurisprudence. Congratulations on a job well done! This book makes a great gift for those hard to buy people as well.
