Jokes about lawyers can be prolific, terrible, hilarious, and cruel; this book is full of such jokes. But why so many? Why do we find lawyers so funny? It used to be the Irish. Or blondes. Why is it lawyers today? And why does no one defend them? Has it always been so? Stan Ross fills the pages with joke after joke as he ponders why.

The book is organised into the following parts, with an introduction to each setting the context:

• Why jokes on lawyers?
• Devious, untrustworthy and unethical
• Technicians, inhuman, boring, pompous, incomprehensible and useless
• Hateful and contemptible
• Too numerous
