About

The legal system and the lawyers who operate in (and around) it have influenced society and continue to do so today. In this age of the slip-and-fall, "false" advertising, and medical "malpractice," it's clear that the quest for justice has not always been easy-it's also been hilarious, poignant, enlightening, and scandalous.

Words from renowned lawyers, not-so-renowned lawyers, judges, authors, politicians, philosophers, and preachers make up this collection of over five hundred memorable, bite-sized quotations about the lives of lawyers; the law; landmark cases; and quips, jokes, and humorous sayings.
