Description: CONDITION: NEW 2001 Conari Press paperback, first edition, first printing. Chapter Decorations. CONTENT: We are all fascinated by the legal system and the people behind it. With Dracula Was a Lawyer, trivia experts Erin Barrett and Jack Mingo explore lawyers we love to hate (until we need one ), the pitfalls in our legal system, celebrity lawyers, and more. This compendium puts lawyers and legal history on trial and exposes over 500 outrageous oddities from the wild world of law. European colonists in nineteenth-century Brazil passed a law exempting "white people" from execution, no matter what their crimes. Authorities found a simple solution while following the letter of the law: they dyed condemned Caucasians blue before executing them. If you wanted to drink legally during Prohibition, you got "sick." The 18th Amendment prohibited the use of alcohol for "beverage purposes," but medicinal purposes were well within the law. Doctors liberally prescribed medicines containing alcohol. AND . . . The Scots, recognizing the archery was crucial for civil defense, outlawed golf in 1457 because they were afraid people were playing golf instead of practicing for war. They did it again during WW II, needing the raw materials that were being used to manufacture golf balls. (And much more in the book.) Shipping via USPS media mail within 2 days of order.
