Product Description
101 Ways to Leave the Law is a new collection of cartoons from Alex Steuart Williams, cartoonist, animator and author of The Times’ weekly cartoon strip, Queen’s Counsel. This latest book is a funny, subversive take on every lawyer’s secret fantasy – dumping the law for a new life. And what’s the best way to do that? Why not tell the judge what you really thought of his ruling? Or explain to your client how his fees are really spent? Or why not draft a document in plain English that people really could read, and even understand? Writing an email – why not send the unedited version? Or how much can you ‘dress down’ on ‘be casual’ Fridays? For every lawyer who’s ever wanted to ditch their career and run away (and that’s most of them) this book is a passport to a guaranteed stylish exit. Alex Steuart Williams is a former barrister turned cartoonist and feature film animator, whose movie credits include Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Lion King and Robots.

Not everyone actually leaves the profession voluntarily these days, but whether you're happy-and-safe or disgruntled-and-vulnerable in your job, this will raise a chuckle, on some occasions a belly laugh. The author must still have some good contacts in the law, even if he left a while ago, because most of the situations he depicts and practices he lampoons are spot on. One to leave in the fee-earners loo, but probably not the client one.

Darkly humourous and worryingly accurate, 101 Ways To Leave The Law illustrates every secret fantasy you've ever had about quitting your job - with style. From dressing as Batman in Court to telling your client to give up 'stealing (which he obviously isn't any good at) and get a proper job' these witty cartoons will have you seriously contemplating putting them into practice. Laugh out loud humour from cover to cover, this book is perfect for anyone in the legal profession - just watch out, having read this book, they may not be in it for long!

Finding the return to work after the holidays a drag? Boss on your case again? Beware the influence of this gem from Alex Steuart Williams which might tempt you to pack it all in and chase your dream, whatever that may really be.'101 ways to leave the law' pokes fun at the legal profession but applies to all of us who have almost, but not quite, jumped ship.Great cartoons coupled with sharp wit.Recommended!
