The Bench,the Bar and the Bizarre by Tushar Mehta 

The Unfamiliar, the Curious, and the Extrordinary in Law

if you think the law is always solemn,orderly, and predictable, think again

In The bench,the Bar and the Bizarre, Tushar Mehta invites you on a guided tour through the curious edges of the law - sometimes whimsical, sometimes absurd,and often unexpectedly funny. 

This book offers a collection of surprising and engaging incidents, events,and judgments that will appeal not only to lawyers and judges but to non legalreaders as well.

Drawing on real cases from around the world,this is the side of the law and its functionaries rarely seen:judges who expressed dissenting views in their judgments with remarkabke vigour;amverick litigants who sued demons, the Devil,and even  God - not out of mere eccentricity,but to prove a point;judges who harangued other over robes,wigs, and mobile phones;instances of judges unduly absorbed in social media; and those who,from the Bench,allowed authority occasionally to overwhelm rstraint.

Unpredicatable and incisive, these episodes reveal the strange huminity that lurks behind the solemn rituals of justice -and remind us  that the law, for all its dignity,can sometimes be gloriously bizarre, yet undeniably fascinating to legal professionalsand aly readers alike.
