  • Description
With his unique, eye-tickling artwork, Alan Gerson looks at the American justice system with tongue planted firmly in cheek. The humor is sometimes caustic, often critical, and always irreverent, as Gerson makes us realize that the legal system isn’t as bad as we thought it was—it’s worse. Find out which circus stars file frivolous appeals, who served on Santa’s jury, and why nobody wants Satan for a witness. The laughs come quickly in this witty, strikingly illustrated book.

About the Author/Editor

ALAN GERSON lives in New Orleans, where he was born. A lawyer for five years, he finally decided he’d rather draw the bench than approach it. In between teaching classes at Loyola University, he is a serious painter who is featured in his own art shows.
