Shakespeare had a lot to say about lawyers--some good, some bad ("The first thing, let's kill all the lawyers." --Henry VI). But the Bard was an undeniable genius when it comes to the powerful use of the English language, and there are many things lawyers can learn from him about wielding words fiercely or persuasively. Indeed, it is lawyers who are most often at the wrong end of lay people's feeble attempts to connect Shakespeare and our noble profession.
Shakespeare for Lawyers contains more than 100 funny, sharp, witty, sad, and instructional quotes pulled from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets by a lawyer, for lawyers, and includes instructions on how they might be used in a courtroom, mediation, or elsewhere. And of course, the book features an extra section exploring what the Bard had to say about the law and those who practice it.
