The Quotable Lawyer Book- Item # 2600

The Quotable Lawyer BookThis book is a truly special gift! 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. Included in this diverse compendium are quotations by and about lawyers and law: “The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.”—U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. “The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.”—Clarence Darrow
