This was neither good nor funny and, at times, was flavored with misogyny. Like actually burn me or leave that job to the cold calls in 2L that still haunt me. 👎🏻

Proof of earned reputation

Lots of lawyer jokes here, some of which I've seen elsewhere. The only part of this book that should have any impact though is the section on actual court cases. These examples clearly show that lawyers will do anything for money and that some judges and juries should never enter a courtroom. Huge awards for frivolous suits make a mockery of the Justice System!

[Julia McCarthy]

If it were not so believable, it would not be funny.

Titanic is sinking. A pediatrician, a lawyer and a priest.

Pediatrician: Help me! Please help me save these children!

Lawyer: Fuck the children!

Priest: Is there time?

I mean, what were you expecting? 

[Federico · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wondered if I could stomach page after page of lawyer jokes. So I picked up this book to read when I needed a distraction, or relief from events or matters that bothered me. It worked, as long as I didn't overdo it. I have to hand it to Mr Price; one needs a strong drive, if not an obsession of sorts, to gather and list enough jokes on one single subject, to fill an entire book. Many of the jokes are funny, but the themes are repetitive -- even if you pace yourself. After seeing on Goodreads, month after month, that I was stuck on the same book, I decided to call it quits. My recommendation? Do pick up the book for occasional escapes from the tedium or the difficulties of life. But do not post on Goodreads that you are (still/always/forever) reading it!

Far too many duplicates. The first section was entertaining, but the sections on quotations and anecdotes were tiresome. The bulk of the jokes merely involve lawyers, rather than making lawyers the butt of the jokes.

Some pretty funny jokes here, but also too many duplicate jokes.
