Though this book pokes a little fun at lawyers, looney lawsuits and our legal system, I have tremendous respect for our laws and legal process.

This book comes from my passion for our justice system. Dont take everything in it too seriously.

It only is meant to be fun, make you laugh a little and promote awareness in a humorous way about how vulnerable we are to expensive lawsuits and litigation. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

There was a time when someone accidentally spilled hot coffee on their lap, they might call themselves clumsy. But today, they call a lawyer.

From Judge Judy to Judge Joe Brown, from Divorce Court to the Peoples Court, Americans are suing each other like never before.

When Linda K. got kicked off the cheerleading team for failing chemistry, you would think she would turn to a tutor, but instead she turned to a lawyer. She sued the school over its academic policies.

There is no doubt that some lawsuits must be litigated in court for a number of reasons. Some people dont keep their word; they break contract agreements, or performed a shoddy repair job on your home or car and refuse to make it right.

However, there are some lawsuits that probably should never see the light of day in a courtroom. Some are funny, some are frivolous and some are just plain outrageous, but they all beg the question: How did this case ever go to trial?

The cases you are about to read were actual cases filed in courts in America and other countries.

Read each case, and then decide how you would rule. Choose from three answers, one of which is correct. After making your ruling, turn the page to see the actual verdict. The ruling in some cases will amaze you!

This can be a great game to play with family, friends, and co-workers.

Read the court cases aloud and ask everyone to select a verdict. Then turn the page to reveal the correct answer.

This is fun to play while entertaining guests, at work, on road trips or sitting around a coffee shop. Its a barrel of laughs!

All the cases in this book are real EXCEPT for one. There is one court case that is completely not true. Do you think you can spot the fake case?

After you have read all the court cases and if you believe you can spot the fake case, send an email to: listing the case number and the name of the case.

You will receive a reply via email, which will indicate the fake case and you can determine if your choice was correct.

Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, may it please the court, I now present to you

Funny, Frivolous, & Outrageous Lawsuits that will make you laugh out loud!

This is the case of:

Give It to Me Baby

In France, Bella Fontaine claimed she and her then husband, Marc Fontaine hadnt had sex in very, very long time.

She really missed being held, kissed, and made love to by her husband. Bella couldnt take the lack of sex anymore, so she sued her husband for not having sex with her in over 20 years.

Marc said, He was very tired from working long hours and he had some health issues that prevented him from having sex with his wife.

If you were the judge, how would you rule?

Would you:

a) Award the ex-wife money because her husband hadnt had sex with her in over 20 year?

b) Rule in favor of the husband because of his health issues and being very tired?

c) Throw her case out of court and tell her to marry someone who likes to have sex and has no health issues?

The Judge tried to light the wifes fire by ordering her former husband to pay her nearly $14,000 for not having sex with her, while they were married.

This is the case of:

Is it cheaper to keep her?

John and Jennifer had been engaged seven weeks, and they had planned to marry and share a beautiful life together. But after thinking things over, John told his fiance he no longer wanted to get married.

Jennifer, however, responded by filing a lawsuit. Because he broke off their engagement, she sued John for $178,000. She sought $93,000 for pain and suffering, $60,000 for lost income from her legal practice, and $25,000 for psychiatric counseling expenses.

If you were the judge, how would you rule?

Would you:

a) Award her the $178,000 she was seeking?

b) Throw her case out because it is frivolous and outrageous?

c) Tell her to be more careful about the men she chooses to date and marry?

She was awarded $178,000.

I guess its true: Theres a thin line between love and a lawsuit.
