Laughter at Law: Stories of Bar, Bench and Box

Out of Print

Here is a book to delight both lawyers and laymen and which provides a wealth of matter for hard-pressed after-dinner speakers.

The author presents a store of amusing anecdotes and witticisms and takes the reader in and out of the courts to meet peronalities like, Carson, F.E. Smith, Hastings, Goddard as well as a host of litigants and jurymen.

There are fascinating glimpses of the life of the Courts as viewed from the Bench, the Bar and the Box, all illustrated by the inimitable Gus.

Sometimes the wit is cruel and punishing; at other times, notably in the Irish Courts, the reader is introduced to an hilarious world of farce. Whether he writes of Crime, Divorce, Breach of Promise or police court drunks, Stanley Jackson gives a vivid picture of the law at work-even in its relaxed moments.
