But it's fun! Genuine fun. There's entire sections in which the authors describe how "highest authority on the subject" interprets the law and note that, quote: "we're not quite sure how anyone could've arrived at that conclusion and we must all hope it does not become the trend". It's all very entertaining.

Anyway if you ever need to sue someone in France, you can ask me anything, I'll be more than happy to not give any opinion whatsoever and immediately refer you to a lawyer.

My favorite bits of the book are all the introductions where the authors:
- discuss their ancient Rome fetish
- assess their disdain for "mere law practicioners" (as opposed to the Noble academics)
- pretend they're about to defend Everyone's access to Justice with a fat J, then move on to describe the 287 prerequisites to even begin being heard on something (btw you only have 15 days (also if you mess up a tiny thing there's a good chance you're fucked))
