the correct book - By: Sue c, 11 Apr 2008 
I bought Bob Terrell & Marcellus Buchanan's Disorderin the court after reading the reviews about CM Sevilla's book above.
Bob & Marcellus's book is superb & obviously the one that quotes are taken from...
Don't be duped. - By: b4-its-2-l8, 29 Jun 2006 I bought this book because when I was surfing the net someone had posted excerpts on their website purportedly from this book, collectively they were hilarious (like the one cited by the first reviewer, Feb 2001). There were about 20 examples & I laughed so much they had mein tears, but not so this book! Indeed, I couldn't even find the same examples.
Like reviewer Aug 2004, I feel I've wasted my money, especially by comparison to what I expected. There are some funny incidences but mainly it's just mildly amusing at best & at worst head-scratching as to why they've been included at all.
This book will give you an insight into the US legal process, but that's not the reason you buy it, you buy it because you're looking to laugh... & with the exception of a few incidences you'll still be looking by the time you've finished.
Perhaps there's an alternative universe somewhere with a book with the same name & by the same author & perhaps there it's funny......... here, it's just a wad of paper wishing it was still a tree.
An utter waste of money ... - By: darkone1uk, 14 Aug 2004 ...naively, I bought this book after reading what I thought were the excerpts from it - & got it very badly wrong...
Everyone - buy Darwin Awards instead!
Fantastic book - buy it NOW - By: , 09 Feb 2001 
This is a hilarious book, which I first found out about on account of examples from it being passed around law students' emails at my university. Even my lecturers have found it so funny that they read it out sometimes to give us a break from work! A particular favourite of mine:
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A: No. Q: Did you check for blood pressure? A: No. Q: Did you check for breathing? A: No. Q: So, then is it possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A: No. Q: How can you be so sure doctor? A: Because his brain was sittingin a jar on my desk. Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless? A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive & practicing law somewhere.
Makes you wonder why we go through 8 years of legal education, doesn't it? :)
