Title: Lawyer jokes for smart people
Review: I thought about starting this review with one of the hundreds of lawyer jokes that are "told" and given life in this excellent book, but I wouldn't want to spoil the punch lines.The author, evidencing an extrodinarily broad range of knowledge, shows how lawyer jokes have evolved over time (and how some jokes previously targetted at Jews, minorities, and businessmen have evolved into lawyer jokes), and how this evolution reflects larger changes in society about attitudes towards law and individual rights.In addition, the artwork in the book combines so old favorites from The New Yorker, plus older drawings from earlier centuries.This is a great book for lawyers and for those who like to make fun of lawyers -- basically, everybody.
Is the review positive or negative?
