Charles M. Sevilla finds comic gems in court transcripts. This new collection starts with a chapter on defendants (one of whom, when asked his marital status, replies after a long pause, "Adequate") and follows with sections on lawyers, experts, witnesses, evidence and even one called "Malaprops". Sevilla's stories have become viral Internet sensations, priming readers for more disorder.
