Disorderly Conduct: Verbatim Excerpts from Actual Cases

by Rodney R. Jones, Charles M. Sevilla, Gerald F. Uelmen

(A) collection of hilarious outtakes from courtroom situations. . . . The humor derives from laypersons--prisoners, witnesses, jurors--who produce a wealth of banalities and faux pas, or from lawyers and judges, whose pomposity and long-windedness beg to be deflated.--Booklist.

I was inspired to pick up this book after seeing a tumblr post that had a few quotes from this book that I thought were very amusing.

This book is a compilation of excerpts taken from actual court cases. It was a very quick read that I found overall very entertaining. While I didn't laugh out loud, I did chuckle a few times. It was first published in 1989, so it is dated, but I didn't get that impression while reading it.

I would recommend checking out this book.
