Veteran oral historian and folklorist Lynwood Montell has collected tales from dozens of lawyers and judges from throughout the Bluegrass State, ranging from the story about the tough Jackson County judge who fined himself for being late to court to unwelcome dogs in the courtroom. Recorded just as they have been told for generations, these stories are sometimes funny, sometimes sad or frightening, sometimes raw and harrowing, but always remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar more than collection of lawyer jokes, \u003ci\u003eTales from Kentucky Lawyers\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the most insightful, entertaining, and occasionally heartbreaking stories ever told by and about Kentucky lawyers and their clients, covering the spectrum from arson to homicide, domestic disagreements to sexual abuse, and everything in between. \u003ci\u003eTales from Kentucky Lawyers\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for folklorists as well as an entertaining and vivid account of the often-surprising legal world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eWilliam Lynwood Montell\u003c\/b\u003e, emeritus professor of folk studies at Western Kentucky University, is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eGhosts across Kentucky, Tales from Kentucky Doctors\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTales from Kentucky Sheriffs\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50393800048877,"sku":"9780813168241","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/MGtLTEq6gr9780813168241.webp?v=1785831169","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/tales-from-kentucky-lawyers-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
