Despite their inherent seriousness, the law and those who practice it, be it lawyers, judges, politicians, or bureaucrats, are amongst the most popular objects of comedy and humour. Sometimes even the mention of the law, or the mere use of legal vocabulary, can trigger laughter. This is deeply counterintuitive, but true across cultures and historical eras: while the law is there to prevent and remedy injustice, it often ends up becoming the butt of comedy. But laughter and comedy, too, are also infused with seriousness: as universal social phenomena, they are extremely complex objects of study. This book maps out the many intersections of the law and laughter, from classical Greece to the present day. Taking on well-known classical and modern works of literature and visual culture, from Aristophanes to Laurel and Hardy and from Nietzsche to Totò and Fernandel, laughter and comedy bring law back to the complexity of human soul and the unpredictability of life.

Few people associate law books with humor. Yet the legal world--in particular the American legal system--is itself frequently funny. Indeed, jokes about the profession are staples of American comedy. And there is actually humor within the world of law too: both lawyers and judges occasionally strive to be funny to deal with the drudgery of their duties. Just as importantly, though, our legal system is a strong regulator of humor. It encourages some types of humor while muzzling or punishing others. In a sense, law and humor engage a two-way feedback loop: humor provides the raw material for legal regulation and legal regulation inspires humor. In Guilty Pleasures, legal scholar Laura Little provides a multi-faceted account of American law and humor, looking at constraints on humor (and humor's effect on law), humor about law, and humor in law. In addition to interspersing amusing episodes from the legal world throughout the book, the book contains 75 New Yorker cartoons about lawyers and a preface by Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor for the New Yorker.

This is a book for anyone with an interest in comedy. For people in the comedy industry itself and indeed the broader entertainment industry, this book is literally a must-read. For those thinking about embarking on a career in comedy, not reading this book beforehand is probably something you can only do at your own peril. For all others (think the growing influence that comedy exerts on our contemporary pop culture) this book is a should-read. At the minimum the book offers useful guidance on how comedians should proceed in making a deal for their work; what a comedian can or cannot safely say or do, whether on stage or off stage; how to protect their comedy “material”, which means their money; and how to safely manage their relations with their comedy industry colleagues as well as people in other industries or even just everyday folks out there. To properly drive home its point, the book draws lessons from the life and work of comedians not only here in the US, but also in Canada, Britain, Australia, Germany and more. Long story short, this book helps comedians cover all their bases. Above all, this book has been years in the making and is the sort of book that could only have been written by somebody from a vantage position who not only knows the law around comedy but also has covered the world of comedy intimately and with good insight. In other words, someone like Yours Sincerely. Enjoy!

With only one pair of courtroom-worthy shoes and desperate for work, a young lawyer from the North hangs her shingle in Ducklingburg, South Duck. She is prepared for a long wait for her first client. Inexplicably, the first client calls straight away. The man who wants to hire her is a multi-millionaire. But why her? His case is "too complicated for the local lawyers," claims the client. The young lawyer and her crack team Hoppy and Raccoon are jubilant, expecting fame and fortune, or at least the end to their frugal diet of Ramen noodles.

Mrs. Grimm, a wealthy socialite, discovered that her husband is having an affair. Declaring revenge, she hires Portia Porter's legal team. But there's a catch: Mrs. Grimm will never sue her own husband. It's not the divorce that she is after. Instead, Mrs. Grimm would like to send the homewrecking mistress packing, and get her husband back! But how? Will Portia's divorce law firm be up to the task of reclaiming the straying husband? As always, Lawyer Portia explain the tricks and secrets of the courtroom. The Raccoon explains high fashion. ___________________ If your husband cheats, will you fight back? What if you love your husband and do not want to fight him? Can you fight the mistress instead? Turns out, sometimes you can! There is a little known law called "alienation of affections." It punishes the homewreckers. An affair with a married man that breaks up a marriage might turn out costly for the mistress: the juries have been known to bring multi-million dollar verdicts. Broken marriages cost money, and somebody has to pay. Makes a girl think, doesn't it? "Alienation of Affections," the second book in Portia Porter's Family Law Series continues to educate about the ways and tricks of divorce court in this story of a scorned wife who did not want a divorce. Instead, this wife decided to fight for her marriage, to punish the home-wrecker, and to get her husband back.

In this book, editors Jarvis, Baker, and McClurg have selected 25 of the funniest law review articles from the past 50 years and arranged them in five categories: law students, law professors, lawyers, judges, and legal scholarship. Also included is a comprehensive bibliography, which is an invaluable research tool. The book's jacket features an original cartoon by the noted artist Alan Gerson. "The compilers . . . have put together a book full of witty articles that make good-natured fun of the legal world. . . . At a mere $25, it is an economical choice for a quality addition to any library's humor collection." -- The Law Library Journal "This book would be a nice addition to a law library in order to show a face of legal scholarship not frequently represented in library collections. Moreover, it would make a nice gift for oneself, a colleague, or a friend studying in law school for those moments when a dose of humor might lessen the pressures of attending to more serious legal matters." -- New York Law Journal "[Y]ou will doubtless enjoy taking a break from your labors by perusing this collection of 25 amusing law review articles." -- The Law Teacher "Definitely a good read." -- The National Jurist "A very funny romp through legal life." -- The National Law Journal "[S]plendid examples of the seriously underdeveloped genre of law review humor writing." -- Legal Times "A collect[ion] of rare gems." -- The Green Bag "This book will make a good addition to law school collections, and a very nice gift for the lawyers in our lives who need a good laugh or humor lessons." -- Bimonthly Review of Law Books
