Overview"""The first thing we do, let's pay all the lawyers.""-William Shakespeare Patrick A. Peters (""Pap"") and his twin brother Prescott U. Peters (""Pup"") are lawyers with a distinctive eye for opportunity. Pap convinces Pup who is a good lawyer despite having gone to Yale Law School that they should leave their respective big-firm practices in New York City to start up a hopefully lucrative practice as plaintiffs' class action lawyers. The brothers meet a variety of clients, judges, and lawyers as they embark on a resourceful and unique approach to lawyer-client relationships all inspired by actual court cases. Written with humor and parlance that only comes from a depth of legal experience, Morrison captures the trials and tribulations of human behavior that strike a chord with every reader. ""The book is hilarious from beginning to end! There were times when I laughed out loud. The word plays are very clever (read slowly to really appreciate them) and the plot manages to skewer many of our long-held personal preferences, while not being mean-spirited. The real ""send up"" here is the class action industry, which suffers quite a (deserved) roast. Do not miss this book!"" -Maureen Bateman Long ago associate of Davis, Polk & Wardwell and past general counsel of United States Trust Company and then general counsel of State Street Bank and Trust Company."
