Lawyers are not typically seen as the most humorous people. This book proves that this perception is unfounded. Their jargon, often difficult to understand and frequently pedantically exaggerated, is full of comedy. Who would have thought that a lawyer only has inhibitions when it comes to statutes of limitations, or that they don’t hand over things but rather "respond" to them, and that they prefer to exculpate themselves rather than apologize? From quirky terms to civil law ambiguities and laws that no one really understands (not even a lawyer), this book attempts to bring a bit more clarity to the linguistic crime that makes lawyers indispensable. Laughter included!.
