Court Records – Your Pocketbook Alternative

I’m sure that I’ll be raising many eyebrows by what I’m about to say, but I really think that court records are very good sources of entertainment. I’m not a fan of legal terms and procedures. I even frequently wonder why lawyers make everything complicated, especially the very simple task of narrating the facts of their cases.

Fortunately though, court records are often easy on the eyes and on the mind even for persons like me who are not really amused with words or phrases such as “habeas corpus” or “obiter dictum”. I even find many of them as resembling a John Grisham classic.

Nothing beats reading real-life stories, especially those that involve struggles with the law. If you’re tired of going through the Fictions Section of your favorite bookstore, then I suggest that you try flipping through the pages of court records where the action and the drama are as real as anywhere you can get.
