This book is mainly modeled after The Devils Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce. This intriguing author offers humorously cynical Definitions of general subjects which have "the ring of the truth.” Bierce’s book was first published in serial form as a newspaper column in 1872, and in different incarnations since. The present book is an extension of the devil's dictionary concept to the important field of General Law. In complement to the Definitions, there are two parts of the book which go beyond what Mr. Bierce originated. The first includes the Cartoons, which pair text with visuals for greater comedic impact (take a gander at the cover). The final part of the book is the Anecdotes. These clever stories, based in fact and fiction, are in diverse parts of the Law. For example, an antitrust lawyer and a securities lawyer compete for who is the "smartest attorney" in the firm. In another, find out the secret of the brilliant lawyer who everybody calls The Francophile . Sample Definitions: Attorney's Legal Opinion Letter: A document which may be worth millions to a client, but not the paper it's written on.
