Hard Knocks: Hilarious Life Lessons of a Lawyer    by Mervyn Hecht
Price: $9.95 USD. 21060 words. Published on May 14, 2012. .

This is a book for people who love to laugh and through that laughter, learn. A satire, Hard Knocks is based upon true events. Hard Knocks takes place within the law, but it is hardly a law book. Rather, it is a Life book, detailing professional wallopings and rounding off with a dose of Aesop. Witty, surprising, at times angering, but always hilarious.
