Corpus Juris Humorous A Compilation of Humorous, Extraordinary, Outrageous, Unusual, Colorful, Infamous, Clever and Witty Reported Judicial Opinion

This highly-acclaimed & entertaining volume contains over 280 authentic judicial decisions, extracted directly from the official records & presented exactly as the judges wrote them. The book is the first of its kind--a truly comprehensive collection--& the cases are all the more amazing & humorous because they are real! The cases include the saga of "Blackie the Talking Cat," the travails of a blowtorch-wielding hairdresser, the arrest of a disorderly mule, a man whose religion forbade him from consorting with attorneys, a steer falling through a roof & into a woman's lap, an asparagus accident on a dance floor at a wedding feast & a man's lawsuit against Satan for deliberately placing "obstacles" in his path & ultimately causing his "downfall." Other delightful & hilarious cases include SEARIGHT V. STATE OF NEW JERSEY, a $12 million claim by a former patient of a medical clinic that the State of New Jersey unlawfully injected him in the left eye with a radium electric beam, thereby causing someone to talk to him on the inside of his brain; the case of LODI V. LODI, in which a man sued HIMSELF to terminate a non-existent charitable trust; as well as a number of stern "frontier" rulings by Judge Richard C. Barry of Tuolumne County, California during the 1850's, who on one occasion sentenced an ATTORNEY to jail for 5 days for continuing to "jaw back" after being told to "shut up" & for "bringing my roolings & dississions into disreputableness end as a warning to unrooly persons not to contradict this COORT."
