Lowering the Bar: Lawyer Jokes and Legal Culture by Marc Galanter

A law professor and sociologist analyzes lawyer jokes, tracing some to far-away roots (the Renaissance, e.g., or a Russian joke bout Soviet party officials), with commentary placing them in the context of American society. Very interesting.
