(Pauline Spencer, Alternative Law Journal, Vol. 44 (4), 2019) For those interested in the use of humour in and around courts this is a trove of studies, analysis and anecdotes. It is replete with endnotes for each essay and the lists of references together with an excellent index make it a valuable, if lonely, resource for those seeking some understanding of the vexing combination of judges, judging and humour. (Glenn Martin AM, Australian Law Journal, Vol. 93 (8), August, 2019) Judges, Judging and Humour discusses both jokes and tales about judges and the way humour is sometimes used by judges in court. ... contain gems which will be of interest to general readers, ... I would suggest most other forms of humour- is to get the biggest possible laugh. (Brian Eassty, The Salisbury Review, 2019)
