Law School Follies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494809867)

Lawyers hold a peculiar place in American culture. We hate to love them. We love to hate them. Consequently, lawyer jokes abound. Here's a typical one: Undaunted by sound advice to the contrary, three young lawyers decide to go out on an outing with a leaky sailboat. Much to their collective surprise, a strong wind comes up and capsizes their boat, flinging them into the sea. Almost immediately they are surrounded by man-eating sharks, who warily eye the frightened attorneys, thrash about, sniff the air and then, abruptly, swim away, leaving the lawyers exhausted but relieved. Why did the sharks swim away? The answer is obvious. Professional courtesy LAW SCHOOL FOLLIES is a series of fact-based stories meant to poke fun at the sometimes bizarre circumstances that surround lawyers and legal education, including: prickly law faculty, eccentric behavior, absent-minded profs, nervous and unpredictable students, overbearing parents and sponsors, conniving administrators, false alarms and surprise visitors. The purpose of the book is to show that no profession has a corner on the market of reasonable behavior, especially under stress. Of course, the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Enjoy.
