Highly entertaining!
This is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Some of the stories are so unbelievable. The cases formed a “chapter” each, meaning that they were short and concise, with a summary of the facts rather than any analysis or key principles. It was simple to understand and requires no knowledge of the law, meaning that it can be read by anyone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
