The Official Lawyer’s Handbook
The Official Lawyer's Handbook is a best-selling satire on law and lawyers written by the lawyer Daniel R. White, and originally published in the United States by Simon & Schuster in 1983. The Handbook was adapted and republished in Britain under the name ''The Queens Counsel Official Lawyers' Handbook'', published by the Robson Press, an imprint of Biteback Publishing.
==Background==
Public distrust of lawyers reached record heights in the United States after the Watergate scandal.〔Jerold Auerbach, ''Unequal Justice: Lawyers and Social Change in Modern America'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1976), 301.〕 In the aftermath of Watergate, legal self-help books became popular among those who wished to solve their legal problems without having to deal with lawyers.〔For examples of legal self-help books written by lawyers which concede that the profession has a bad image, see Mark H. McCormack, ''The Terrible Truth About Lawyers'' (New York: Beech Tree Books, 1987), 11; Kenneth Menendez, ''Taming the Lawyers'' (Santa Monica, CA, Merritt Publishing, 1996), 2; and Stuart Kahan and Robert M. Cavallo, ''Do I Really Need A Lawyer?'' (Radnor, PA: Chilton Book Company, 1979), 2.〕 Lawyer jokes (already a perennial favorite) also soared in popularity in English-speaking North America as a result of Watergate.〔Gayle White, "So, a lawyer, a skunk and a catfish walk into a bar...: No shortage of jokes," ''National Post'', 27 May 2006, FW8.〕 In 1989, American legal self-help publisher Nolo Press published a 171-page compilation of negative anecdotes about lawyers from throughout human history.〔Andrew Roth & Jonathan Roth, ''Devil's Advocates: The Unnatural History of Lawyers'' (Berkeley: Nolo Press, 1989), ix.〕
