Reviews

"It is fun to have books of quotes around, and this book is a nice addition to that group of books. Lawyers are largely well-educated, thinking people who have a lot of opinions and are happy to share them. This little book is handy to carry in a purse or a briefcase or to keep on one's desk to pick up and open to any page to find an interesting little nugget of wisdom or wise-cracking."
