内容説明

The law is a serious business but that has never inhibited judges, barristers and solicitors from making humorous, acerbic or downright insulting remarks to each other in court and elsewhere. Add to that similar comments by journalists, actors, politicians, writers, comedians and you see that over centuries the law has amassed a cornucopia of wit and humour unmatched by any other profession. The appeal of this wonderful collection is not limited to lawyers. It is for anyone who delights in our ability to laugh at ourselves and takes pleasure in the wit, ingenuity and daring that has created sayings that pass the test of time and deserve to be recorded and enjoyed. The practice of law may be mocked, but the laughter never demeans the cause of justice. These brilliant quotations have been compiled from a huge range of sources that include: William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, Woody Allen, Lord Denning, Ronald Reagan, Oscar Wilde, Sir John Mortimer, FE Smith, John Buchan, Charles Dickens, John Cleese, Benjamin Franklin and many others on topics as diverse as adultery, death, money, the law, tax, wills and even wigs! Silence in Court. Prepare to laugh. Again and again.
