"Sit back and enjoy a collection of verbatim exchanges from the halls of justice, where defendants and plaintiffs, lawyers and witnesses, juries and judges, collide to produce memorably insane comedy.

The Court: ""The charge here is theft of frozen chickens. Are you the defendant, sir?""

Defendant: ""No, sir, I'm the guy who stole the chickens."""

Reviews for Disorder in the Court: Great Fractured Moments in Courtroom History

Court legalese, often combined with malapropisms and slips of the tongue in exchanges between judges, lawyers, plaintiffs, defendants and eccentric jurors, is gleefully quoted here...Readers will undoubtedly cull their own favorites from this irreverent sampling of 'justice' in action.
