This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Not nearly as funny as the facebook post was. I am informed that Mr. Sevilla is ranked one of the best lawyers in America! He also has a good sense of humor I must admit. His collections of some of the most hillarious moments in court kept me laughing on my own like a mad man. Honestly, I bought this book for other reasons, but it turned out that it was meant for a different purpose all together.

You should try it sometime!!! Did u go to law school Great book have a couple lawyers in the family, good laughs. It is fun to watch the witness be brutally honest. Mar 05, Will rated it really liked it Recommended to Will by: More "great" moments in courtroom history.

It is advised to read this book in a place where people will not try to save you from choking. Oct 17, Heather rated it it was ok. A good book for reading small sections at a time - funny in parts but I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if I was a lawyer. May 05, Amanda Lynn rated it really liked it. I'm actually looking into taking court reporter certification courses at my local community college now; that's how much I love this book! A quick read, that definitely helps combat boredom especially while taking public transit. Some sections were funnier than others.

However, based on the excerpts I saw while reading reviews prior to picking up a copy I was vaguely disappointed --it just wasn't the source of side-splitting laughter I was hoping for. That being said, different people have different views about what is humorous and I'd recommend a read to judge for yourself.

There are still a number of scenarios sure to make you smile. May 02, Carlos rated it it was ok Shelves: This book was as funny as I expected, a chuckle here and there with most of the situations just being silly. Definitely more geared towards a coffee table book that you pick up every once in a while.

The illustrations did help to keep some of the more sagging bits going while the book could have also benefited from a bit of pruning here and there. Feb 21, Stacy rated it liked it Shelves: Fun, little book and a quick read. I work in the legal field and admit some of it might be funnier to those with that background, but it isn't necessary to get the humor.

I went into this having high expectations from the snippets I saw on tumblr.

    Because of that, I feel like I was greatly disappointed to the point where I couldn't really enjoy it. Jan 11, Johnny rated it liked it. A cute little book that is any easy afternoon read that has some funny moments. Oct 29, Colette Moss rated it really liked it. Very funny insight to the world of court rooms.

    May 11, Janet rated it it was ok Shelves: The comments were funny at first, but after a while I found myself skimming the blurbs to find the punch lines.

    I was excited to see that the author published two more books just like this one Disorderly Conduct and Supreme Folly , but by the time I finished reading this one I had no desire to read the others. Dec 15, Kasey rated it really liked it.
