This book will show you what really goes on behind the scenes in courtrooms in rural areas of the south, and you may never think of your lawyer the same way again after reading this book.. This Third Edition of Bar Tales continues to be a zany, crazy, juvenile and almost always humorous collection of short stories from one rural southern county's bar association over a period of 35 years. Meet characters like The Queen of the Universe, Judge Silly (spelled Cilley), Our Fashion Commandant Judge Bradley Letts; and a District Attorney called a "folksy mountain lawyer" by The Charlotte Observer newspaper. These stories are absolutely true and you will meet the real judges involved, many of whom still practice law
"Bar Taes: Stories from a soutern rural law practice" according to southernreader. Well written and entertaining all the way through. All these things must have happened as I don't think anyone could make them up. These small counties are famous in the South for the close knit friendships and Chris Callahan touched on a lot of this. Looking forward to more books from Chris Callahan. "Truth, not fiction" according to Robert Cilley. An earlier reviewer said the stories must be true. Yes, they are. I was there when some of them happened, and Callahan gets them right. Oh, he changes the names to protect thewell, not innocent, exactlythe participants, let's say. There were days when nobody in the Rutherford County courtroom was innocent, and that includes the witnesses. The book is slice of history if you live in western North Carolina, and a peek at an era that is largely, and sadly, gone.. "Most delightful regional lore "bar" none," according to Amazon Customer. Stories were concise and entertaining. The author has the ability to tease his colleagues without malice. Enjoyed his ability to gently weave his spiritual journey into his tales. A must read for Rutherford Countians no matter at what distance we have strayed from home.
