If the iPod is too loud, does Steve Jobs have to pay? Can Steven Spielberg cut a kid's hair without permission? Did Mickey Mouse and Fred Flintstone really cast votes for Ralph Nader? Unbelievable but true tales of more than one hundred court calamities, curiosities, and comical cases. Joel Seidemann's law career spans more than 25 years. He is currently a district attorney, but when he's not arguing on the city's behalf, he can be found researching the most bizarre, hilarious, and ridiculous cases of legal history. And now, thanks to Seidemann, we know why Lady Justice is blindfolded. Surely it's to hide her tears from the daily dysfunction and dalliances bestowed upon our country's judicial system. Remember the woman who claimed she found a finger in her Wendy's chili? Or the judge who attempted to make a courtroom decision by flipping a coin? Seidemann concisely chronicles more than one hundred tales of courtroom chaos and credulity that are destined to make even the most experienced judge chuckle between sessions. The perfect gift for newly licensed lawyers who just passed the bar, in addition to legal eagles currently in practice.… (plus d'informations)

Verry short write ups of some ciriminal and civil law cases. I expectded it to be funnier -- some cases where creepy or just plain sad. ( )

It's a pretty fast read, but I was expecting something a bit more humorous. Not all the cases were particularly noteworthy and the author's editorializing falls flat. I was hoping for something more along the lines of the courtroom chapters of Richard Lederer's books. This would make a decent bathroom book since it can be consumed in short segments. ( )

Enjoyable light read. I had previously read some of the cases, but not all, so there was enough new ones to make it worthwhile. Good for short burst reading while waiting.

Absolutely hilarious true stories of happenings in the court room. A must have for fans of real life humor. ( )

The actual stories were very funny, but I found the the author's editorials grating most of the time. Perry Parks once said that if it's obviously ridiculous news, you just need to lay the information out there, you don't need to point out how ridiculous the people were. ( )
