A rollicking collection of barely believable stories from five centuries of legal history – you’ll be gripped by these tales of murder, intrigue, crime, punishment and the pursuit of justice. Meet the only dead parrot ever to give evidence in a court of law, the doctor with the worst bedside manner of all time, the murderess who collected money from her mummified victim for 21 years, and explore one of the most indigestible dilemmas – if you’d been shipwrecked 2,000 miles from home, would you have eaten Parker the cabin boy? The tales within these pages are bizarre, fascinating, hilarious and, most importantly, true. Revised, redesigned and updated for a new generation of legal eagles, this book is the perfect gift for lawyers, armchair detectives and true crime afficionados everywhere.

The law has never been funnier or crazier--and this book (now in a brand-new format) contains the proof! In an age of litigation run rampant, lawsuits have become increasingly bizarre--not to mention downright silly. It may seen obvious that junk food makes you fat, or that if you fall into an ornamental rock garden it will hurt, but some people need a big warning sign. From convicted criminals to forgetful senators and gambling-crazy moms, everyone, it seems, needs protecting from themselves. Some chancers walk away with a big check, but readers can render their own verdicts on barely injured sports stars, warring neighbors, aggrieved former pet owners, angry husbands, furious wives, and kids who think, "To hell with the inheritance, I'm suing Mom and Dad.”

How Would You Rule is a lighthearted introduction to fundamental concepts of law through strange but true legal cases. Each chapter tells the story of a different case and presents the main arguments of the opposing parties. The twist? Before the ruling of the court is revealed, readers are challenged to put themselves in the shoes—or the robes—of the judges and decide for themselves how they would rule in these cases. After coming up with their own solutions, readers can learn how the actual judges resolved the disputes. The goal is to get readers to think for themselves about what’s right and what's wrong, sharpening their own instincts for the reasons and analyses that win arguments.

Learn the law by resolving real legal cases. Lawyers and judges do not have the luxury of having the law explained to them. They must figure out what the law should be from the facts of each case and the legal principles of cases that have come before. How Would You Rule? brings that reality to the page by presenting you with the critical facts and rules in 31 of the law's most interesting cases and inviting you to test your legal wits and sharpen your legal judgment by figuring out how these challenging cases should be decided. Written in plain language, every legal case in How Would You Rule? is told as an engaging and intriguing story. How Would You Rule? is perfect for students who aspire to careers in the law, for readers who want to learn how judging really works, and for anyone who loves figuring out puzzles and thinking about justice in a complicated world. From the Back Cover What would you do if you had the chance to be the judge in some of the toughest, strangest, and most puzzling cases that have ever come to court? The best way to find out how you would rule is to try it yourself. Would you let a person out of a contract to buy a haunted house? Would you help a mother break up her daughter's friendship with another girl? Would you give refunds to the audience at the world's worst rock concert? These are just some of the legal challenges and dilemmas you'll find in these pages. You will learn about the law and justice and how hard it can sometimes be to have both at the same time.
