"Law and Laughter" by George A. Morton and D. Macleod Malloch is a collection of humorous legal anecdotes and remarks written in the early 20th century. The volume explores the lighter side of law through witty exchanges and memorable quips from judges and barristers in Great Britain, Ireland, and America. It combines historical context with humor, presenting a colorful tapestry of legal wit that sheds light on the personalities found within the judicial system. The opening of this work sets the tone by recalling the humorous observations of Mr. Justice Darling, who reflects on the common misconception that the law lacks a sense of humor. It details various amusing anecdotes involving famous judges from different eras, such as Sir Thomas More and Lord Kenyon, showcasing their clever retorts and humorous insights amidst serious legal proceedings. By profoundly illustrating how humor often serves to lighten the burdens of justice, the book compiles a rich collection of tales that entertain while also conveying the essence of legal discussion throughout history.
