Abstract
Here is a dust-jacketed copy of the third book in this series. It is one of four found together now in 2020. Before its twenty-six fables, this volume offers a table of cases cited and a one-line table of statutes. Each story has an enjoyable newspaper-like caricature. I read the first three. In the first, two "Athletic Templars" go off on vacation, so happy to be away from everything court-related. They climb the "Dent du Chien" in Switzerland. What do they discuss while they do their ascending and descending of these beautiful mountains? The usual court stuff! In the second, a judge has a great reputation for perfect judgments. Had he been such a good lawyer? Not really. He had an usher in his courtroom who showed great sense. The judge paid him to stop sleeping and to stop in and give his opinion before the judge made his decision. In the third, three elderly jurists get back together after distinguished careers in various areas. Do they talk their specialties? Yes, for ten minutes. Then they talk about good old times in the music halls and with the ladies! There are nineteen pages given to an index starting on 97. The covers are heavy boards with titles pasted on. The dust-jacket is in poor-to-fair condition with a good illustration of the first fable, described above: "The Athletic Templars Who Climbed the Dent du Chien."
