Summary: Disorder in the Review
Comment: The 2nd book of 2 by Charles M. Sevilla that takes a humorous look at the goings on in courtrooms around the country. I'm sure that a lot of you have gotten the e-mail with excerpts from this book (which is what prompted me to buy the book and the 1st "Disorderly Conduct"). I enjoyed this book and got some chuckles out loud. Anyone in or around the legal professions should find this book amusing. Amusing illustrations illuminate some of the quotes. There are bits of this book that are more amusing than others, but what I find amusing you may not. I still feel that there is enough in this book to make everyone smile (if not chuckle). An interesting addition to this book are the names and cities of the people who submitted the quotes to Mr. Sevilla (there was even one from my home town of West Chester). Which I guess now would be a good time to add - the author originally wrote a column that used this type of humor (and quotes) prompting people from around the country to start sending him their additions. After a while he had enough for 2 books. Over all this is a good book. It would be great for the beach - pick it up, put it down and pick it up again, no worrying about loosing your place in the story.

Summary: Funny One
Comment: I love to read or hear stories of people's mistakes, not so much because I like to laugh at people, but because it makes me feel better about my own mistakes -- I know I'm not alone.
I did enjoy this book generally, but I have to say that I was quite disappointed in the number of exchanges included that were off-color and/or foul-mouthed. I know that in many ways this just reflects people in real life, but this is precisely why these aren't so funny. It's the things that are out of the ordinary that that catch me off guard and make me laugh.

Summary: The third in Sevilla's series of legal humor
Comment: Another fun romp through the legal system by Sevilla. Apparently having exhausted all the legal anecdotes he could find in the first two, this one is based on contributions from lawyers all across the country (most notably the Menendez brothers' lawyer, Leslie Abramson).
As usual, stupid defendants, wild witnesses, hapless lawyers, careless judges, and a bevy of other legal personnel, make for a fine afternoon's reading and a good addition to your library of legal humor.
