Summary: "Causes amusantes et connues" by Robert Estienne is a collection of legal anecdotes and arguments written in the late 17th century. The work showcases a variety of amusing and lesser-known legal cases presented by known lawyers, blending humor with legal commentary. Through this unique format, the author aims both to entertain readers and to educate them on the art of legal persuasion and rhetoric. The opening of the work features the author reflecting on his decision to compile a collection of amusing legal briefs rather than attempt to present original content and style, which led to criticism in his previous literary endeavors. Estienne emphasizes that the humorous cases featured within, known as "Causes grasses," focus on less serious matters, allowing lawyers to showcase their wit and creativity. He intends for this collection to not only amuse but also serve as a valuable resource for young legal students, presenting models for effective writing without any reflections or judgments added by the compiler himself.
