Veteran oral historian and folklorist William Lynwood Montell has collected tales from dozens of lawyers and judges from throughout Tennessee, ranging from stories of a custody battle over a family dog that garnered national media attention to the self-proclaimed "smartest man in Clay County." Recorded exactly as the lawyers tell them, these stories are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes raw and harrowing, but always remarkable.
