Customer Reviews

This is the way to understand the British legal system!

Alex Stuart was trained as a barrister, the peculiar (to Americans) profession that, bewigged and berobed, represents the Crown or the accused in British courts of law. Removing his own robe and wig and taking up pen and paper, Stuart figuratively disrobes his former colleagues in his clever cartoons. Combining his hereditary British understatement with sly and insightful humor and a gift for caricature, Stuart's book elicits many a chuckle. Lawyer jokes never had it so good.

An entertaining book of legal cartoons.

It is a must for fans of the topical Steuart & Francis legal cartoon in The Times. I enjoyed it very much.
