Here's What People Who Actually Read the Book Are Saying: "Eddie Murphy meets Alan Dershowitz and the result is funny, insightful, and informative. In Sean Carter's writing I found that all too elusive alchemy--a work that is so funny and entertaining, you don't realize how much you're learning. I certainly wish this book was available when I was in law school. The book provides a solid basis for lay people and a refresher course for lawyers who took the Bar Exam more than three weeks ago. The genius of Mr. Carter's book is his use of comical and off-the-wall examples from the headlines to explain the law. Unlike the dry, bland, moribund classical examples of law school (with names like Greenacre, Mr. A, Mrs. B...), Mr. Carter fills his examples with identifiable people and places--O.J., Pamela Anderson, George W. Bush, etc. I hope he has a good attorney to represent him when the defamation suits start. I highly recommend this clever opus." Stevie B. -- Chicago, IL "I find Sean Carter GUILTY... of hurting my sides at all the great jokes in his book! This book is an easy-to-use and fun-to-use guide on the law. It doesn't cover everything, but it's not supposed to. But what it does cover is well-written and entertaining, something that's tough to do with any law book." Thomas L. -- Des Moines, IA "Sean Carter managed just the right mix between black-letter law and humor, and he has a knack for coming up with good hypotheticals. My favorite line was that a nolo plea counted as a foul tip rather than a strike under California's "three strikes" law. The book resurrected topics I forgot the minute I turned in my bar exam--like executory interests and federal preemption." Paul R. -- Plymouth, MI "The book is a great handy-dandy one volume guide to the law that covers almost everything in my courses this year . . . it is worth every penny. And I guarantee it is a much better investment than those sleep-inducing study guides they sell over at the bookstore. And heck, parts of it would be funny even if you weren't in law school." JMBZine.com "The book is not only funny, but it actually attempts to explain how the legal system works.... This is a great gift for a lawyer or law student to give to their relatives to help them understand the basics of law, without feeling intimidated. After all, you've got to love a book that explains the First Amendment as 'the freedom to pray, bitch and moan.'" Ernie the Attorney "The book gives an informative and entertaining rendition of the law in a format even "GW" Bush could comprehend. After I read it, I gave it to my Dad, who gave it a read through within a week. Some time thereafter, I was asking his opinion of a case from my Torts class, and he spit out the elements of trespass matter-of-factly. It was refreshing to realize he could glean and apply some legal doctrine from 'If It Does Not Fit, Must You Acquit?' and apply it intelligently to a real fact pattern." Wayne Law Student "The book is great. It teaches you everything you learn in your first year and a half for pennies on the tuition dollar. I gave it to my non-law student friends and we have intelligent conversations about legal issues. Thanks!" |
