The New Yorker Book of Lawyer Cartoons

A single, oversized 2001 hardcover from Easton Press, The New Yorker Book of Lawyer Cartoons collects decades of the magazine’s wry, single-panel takes on the legal profession. While not a traditional comic series, its one-volume format gathers the work of the magazine’s legendary cartoonists—figures like Charles Addams, George Booth, and Roz Chast—into a definitive, coffee-table tribute to courtroom absurdity and office politics. It matters as a curated snapshot of how The New Yorker’s signature humor has skewered lawyers, judges, and clients for generations.
