Synopsis

Shakespeare said, “Let’s kill all the lawyers!” But then what would we do with them? Find out in this irreverent send-up of the legal profession, featuring unimaginable and implausible comic depictions of formerly fully functioning purveyors of jurisprudence, their earthly remains put to farcical uses appropriate to their discipline, guaranteed, warrantied, certified, pledged, promised, ensured, endorsed, averred and attested to appeal to the funny bone of every client, litigant, opposing party and adverse witness who was ever ensnared in the labyrinth of the law, where practicing can be an end in itself. Whether it’s a Dead Divorce Lawyer, a Dead Porno Shop Lawyer, a Dead Tobacco Company Lawyer, a Dead Civil Liberties Lawyer, a Dead Medical Malpractice Lawyer, a Dead Bank Lawyer, a Dead Union Lawyer, a Dead Car Dealer's Lawyer, a Dead Products Liability Lawyer or a Dead Ambulance Chaser, you’ll find a wacky use for your favorite Dead Lawyer, Attorney, Barrister, Solicitor, and Counselor in this compendium of laughable cadavers.

About this title

About the Author:

While on a bus with his mother in the 1950's on Miami Beach, young Billy Berger (1949) answered another passenger's question, "are you a native?" with "no, I'm Jewish." With a degree in philosophy (1972), his career goal of advising people whether they existed or not was sidetracked by the lure of law school and the practice of law as a trial attorney and judge. Bill has now come up for air and published "What to do with a Dead Boomer" and "What to do with a Dead Lawyer." Contact him at: aBergerBook@gmail.com
