About this title

Synopsis

The silliest lawsuits and unruliest rulings of all times.

From the Publisher

It is illegal in California to trip a horse for entertainment. Funeral directors in Nevada can be arrested for using profane language in the presence of a "dead human body." In Washington, it is illegal to catch fish by throwing rocks at them, but you can use explosives. Senseless statutes like these are the often hysterical fodder for this irreverent skewering of our legal system. Lawyer Lance Davidson uses a series of humorous short takes to reveal actual ludicrous laws, bizarre legal decisions, and entertaining anecdotes that demonstrate just how quirky the law can be.
