Habeas Circus is a hilarious book that combines art and humor to illuminate the comical side of the legal profession—why Santa doesn’t want elves on his jury, why Satan isn’t the best character witness, why dicta and pecuniary are funny words and why we have to protect our right to bare arms. In his own words, it is “an attempt at fair play so everyone is skewered—clients, judges, witnesses, and the legal process.” Read and realize that the legal system isn’t as bad as we thought it was—it's worse.

Reviews

“Elements of playfulness and anger combine to produce a striking result. The concept of treating a serious topic with humor is effectively conveyed.”

“He really hits the mark with this collection. All the hidden sub-text and absurdity of the legal system is used, with a fiendish glint in his eye. A delight!”
