From the incorrigible Judge Sparks to the benchslap factory known
as the Seventh Circuit to the rural districts of Kentucky, the
humiliating judicial opinions in this book are accompanied by an
entertaining and wide-ranging discussion of the glories and
vagaries of the U.S. legal system. You will laugh at the judicial
take downs described in this book, but you should laugh nervously.
After all, you could be next
"Benchslapped" is more than compilation of legal snippets. It
contains substantial passages drawn from some of the most
interesting and amusing benchslaps ever published, along with
back-stories, commentary and analysis. These opinions address a
broad range of malfeasance, including frivolous litigation,
professional misconduct, discovery abuse, rules violations, poor
work product and insulting the bench. While funny, "Benchslapped"
also provides meaningful advice for attorneys hoping to avoid their
predecessors' miscues. It is an excellent legal primer for new and
aspiring attorneys and is a fun and thoughtful read for established
lawyers. Although "Benchslapped" contains some legal terms, it is
written so even readers with little or no legal background can
enjoy the courtroom antics.
