Because Everyone Loves Lawyer Jokes: A Lawyer Writes a Comic Novel

Tom Morrison of Salisbury, Conn., an attorney, has produced a sequel to his comic legal novel “Torts ‘R’ Us.”

The new book, “Please Pass the Torts,” continues the saga of the Peters brothers, Patrick A. (known as “Pap”) and Prescott U. (aka “Pup”).

This time around the Peters do legal battle with the Russians and the owners of strip clubs, among others.

As before, Morrison has fun with names and acronyms. Readers will be introduced to the Committee on Drugs, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Yogurt (CODAFTY), stripper Lydia Lowlace, and primatologist Klint A. Kwak, who does business under the sobriquet “Dr. Doolittle.”

“Please Pass the Torts” is available at the Salisbury General Store, Oblong Books in Millerton and from Amazon.

On Wednesday, Jan. 12, at 7 p.m., Morrison will give a talk sponsored by Noble Horizons and the Scoville Memorial Library in Salisbury. He will be interviewed by television newsman Bill Littauer of Salisbury, on Zoom. More information and a Zoom link can be found at www.noblehorizons.org.
