Combining original insights with probing commentary, these sparkling essays light up the page as they illuminate a wide range of subjects more or less in some way, often unexpected, linked to law. As the title foreshadows, the book is creatively organized in the form of a meal, with its delicacies spread over a menu covering a drink, appetizers, entrees, sides, and dessert. Among other surprises, the author reminds us of poet John Milton&#8217;s appeal for freedom to read what we want, describes two comic book lawyer superheroes, suggests ways to improve our democracy, finds new legal themes in the lives of various well-known creative artists, and even tells us which are his favorite books about law and why. It is a tour de force sure to fascinate any thinking person, lawyer or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fdcfc74e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-medium-font-size is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-vip.net\/AuthorHouse\/854348\/excerpt-2\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px;background-color:#b7d432\">read an excerpt<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-medium-font-size is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/854348-legal-food-for-thought\" style=\"border-radius:0px;background-color:#b7d432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORDER A COPY NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legal Food for Thought A Savory Stew of Stimulating Essays Laced with Law Legal Food for Thought is both an entertaining and provocative collection of non-technical essays written by an experienced, literate lawyer with an eye for unusual topics and a gift for language.
