Book Synopsis

"[I]f you want to become a real lawyer (or mentor a young'un to become one), and you really don't know how, then this is really the book for you. . . . Really!"
- The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, Senior United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska, at Hercules and the Umpire

"[A]absolutely addictive, unputdown-able. . . . Curmudgeon's Guide pulls off - with great elan - a technique that many writers attempt, only to crash and burn in the face of its extraordinary degree of difficulty. That technique is to deliver deadly accurate truths veiled in laugh-out-loud humor."
- Bruce MacEwen, Law Firm Consultant, at Adam Smith, Esq.
