Enjoyed reading this immensely! A pleasure cover-to-cover.

This is the first anthology I have read and this style is not for me. There are a bunch of quotes from all different sources, but they seem thrown into a book. There is not point being made, just the quotes that deal with different types of law. Some parts with information read more like a textbook, just knowledge or things that happened in this type of law or a story and is followed by the quotes. This just didn't hold my attention and I did not enjoy reading random quotes.

About halfway through. It is a wry look at the relativity of "absolutes" in the world of law. Quite funny... 50/50 american and british law systems. I would prefer less brit influence... but its still a wry, ironic read.
