Scope and Contents note

Collection of jokes about lawyers. Abbott suggests that often people's frustration with lawyers presents itself in tangible form through jokes. He states that lawyer jokes are traditional, variable, and can be classified into different groups. Abbott comes to the conclusion that jokes are modern folk tales, and that lawyer jokes are both funny and educational. Created by Brett Abbott while he was enrolled in Eric Eliason's English 391 class during the fall semester of 2002.
