"litigant n. A person about to give up his skin for the hope of retaining his bones." Ambrose... |
| Synopsis: |
The legal system and the lawyers who operate in (and around) it have influenced society and continue to do so today. In this age of the slip-and-fall, ? false" advertising, and medical ? malpractice," it's clear that the quest for justice has not always been easy? it's also been hilarious, poignant, enlightening, and scandalous. Words from renowned lawyers, not-so-renowned lawyers, judges, authors, politicians, philosophers, and preachers make up this collection of over five hundred memorable, bite-sized quotations about the lives of lawyers; the law; landmark cases; and quips, jokes, and humorous sayings. Included in this diverse compendium are quotations by and about lawyers and law: ? The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience."? U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. ? The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business."? Clarence Darrow ? We do not get good laws to restrain bad people. We get good people to restrain bad laws."? G. K. Chesterton ? A lawyer will do anything to win a case? sometimes he will even tell the truth."? Patrick Murray |
