This book should be R rated in that the F word occurs regular and there is a lot of very crude humor.
The book has some funny stuff that a layman would enjoy but it is few and far between. This is really written for lawyers.

This is so cute and funny. YOu wouldn't be disappointed. Whether you work in courtroom or you just are interested in it and need a good laugh, you will get the laugh you were looking for.

I only got four pages into the first chapter when I encountered foul language. I did not expect or want to read such tripe. Glad I got my copy at the library to review first. It's going straight back to the library. Perhaps we should place warnings on books like they do for TV and movies.

When I read the description, I thought the book I was going to recieve was going to be slightly used, as written. When I recieved the book it look as if it was brand new!

I really enjoyed this book. It is full of every day things that are said in court. Because of my job I spend time in our court systems and there have been many a day where I have shook my head and thought, "I can't believe he said that!". The book is full of just such moments.

Thank You very much. Got the book very quickly, it was in a good shape and the price was reasonable. Have a good summer, everyone!

So there I was peacefully sitting out on my mother's veranda when I decided that some reading was in order. I had just received my copy of "Disorder in the Court" and settled down. As expected there were moments of great mirth and just good old fashioned belly laughs. I soon had to be reading the entire book to my mother who laughed until "her laughing bag buss" ( a Jamaican terminology)and speedily depleted my cell phone credit calling friends to read jokes to them.

There were a few flat moments - but you can't have everything. An excellent compilation nonetheless

This book is GREAT!!! Not only in content, but in construction!~!~! It is NOT one where you have to sit and continue through the whole thing at one time. Just bits and pieces at a time are great because some people don't have the time to consume the entire book! You don't loose anything reading it that way. . . . Waiting on the sequel!

Read the entire book, It was not as funny or as good as the bits of it that I got in e-mail from friends. Some of it was darn right boreing !!!

While reading the excerpts you will be in shock and awe. When that state subsides, you will likely realize how smart you look and sound in comparison! This one is worth lots of laughs and unforgettable scenarios!

I kept getting emails about funny anecdotes about things that happened in court attributed to "disorder in the court". This can't be the same book. There was nothing funny in it.

My husband is eighty-seven and faced with many physical problems... AND depression. A friend sent an e-mail containing excerpts from this book. Laurits laughed like he hadn't in months, so I located this book and bought it for him. He's read it over and over.
A great book for a person who's down in the dumps... or your favorite lawyer! It makes a nice little gift for ANYONE!

My cousin, who is an attorney, loves this book. She said that she can't put it down. Makes her look forward to her job. Great.

What a great book for carrying with you on visits and reading it to a shut-in or sharing it with a bunch of friends to perk things up on a cold winter's evening.

The book is a collection of things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down by court reporters. It must be tough to record some of these exchanges without laughing out loud. Fun reading for anyone, but if you have a friend who's a lawyer or a judge, it might be the perfect gift for them.

Here are some samples from the book:

ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth?
WITNESS: July 18th.
ATTORNEY: What year?

person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

Bought this book to give as a gift but couldn't give it because of the language used. I don't think humor needs the gutter to make it funny...

THE ADVERTISING HYPE FOR THE BOOK CONTAINS FUNNIER MATERIAL THAN THE BOOK ITSELF. WORTH READING FROM COVER TO INDEX. THE PAGES WOULD BE MORE USEFUL TO USE AS A DUSTPAN FOR SMALL JOBS

The 2nd book of 2 by Charles M. Sevilla that takes a humorous look at the goings on in courtrooms around the country. I'm sure that a lot of you have gotten the e-mail with excerpts from this book (which is what prompted me to buy the book and the 1st "Disorderly Conduct"). I enjoyed this book and got some chuckles out loud. Anyone in or around the legal professions should find this book amusing. Amusing illustrations illuminate some of the quotes. There are bits of this book that are more amusing than others, but what I find amusing you may not. I still feel that there is enough in this book to make everyone smile (if not chuckle). An interesting addition to this book are the names and cities of the people who submitted the quotes to Mr. Sevilla (there was even one from my home town of West Chester). Which I guess now would be a good time to add - the author originally wrote a column that used this type of humor (and quotes) prompting people from around the country to start sending him their additions. After a while he had enough for 2 books. Over all this is a good book. It would be great for the beach - pick it up, put it down and pick it up again, no worrying about loosing your place in the story.

I love to read or hear stories of people's mistakes, not so much because I like to laugh at people, but because it makes me feel better about my own mistakes -- I know I'm not alone.

I did enjoy this book generally, but I have to say that I was quite disappointed in the number of exchanges included that were off-color and/or foul-mouthed. I know that in many ways this just reflects people in real life, but this is precisely why these aren't so funny. It's the things that are out of the ordinary that that catch me off guard and make me laugh.

This is a good book to kill time and find some good stories to tell. Many of these tales have come across my desk as emails and they will likely provide a lot more material. Worth the price but some of the material streches the imagination.

This is a great book for everyone. It is a book of humerous stuff people actually said in court. It is a very good book that you should add to your collection today. An example is: "Your son, the twenty year old, how old is he?" Buy this book! You will not regret it!! :)

When I decide to review a book, I try to pick subject that interest me and law is one of those subjects. This book has very little to with the practice of law and very much to do with the lighter side of the law. It will entertain you for hours as you read through the pages.

In just over 250 pages you will find some of the funniest things ever said in a courtroom. You'll read what lawyers; witnesses, jurors, judges, defendants and plaintiffs have said if you pay attention you'll find yourself on the ground laughing.

A book that took just one hour to complete from cover to cover has provided a very bright start to the New Year. The sidesplitting questions and answers are sure to make everyone laugh. A certain must have for everyone in the legal field.

Written by a practicing lawyer and taken from actual court transcripts you'll get a first hand look at not so serious side of the system of jurisprudence. Congratulations on a job well done! This book makes a great gift for those hard to buy people as well.

Haven't read the whole thing. But some quotes from the book are circulating on the net. Samples:

Q: Do you know if your daughter has ever been involved in the voodoo A: We both do. Q: Voodoo? A: We do. Q: You do? A: Yes, voodoo.

Q: You were not shot in the fracas? A: No, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel.
