The Adventures of Firstyr the Younger Knight Errata of Cort: Bed Time Stories for First Year Lawyers

By Edward Pontacoloni Esq and Robert Place

A war of words is still a war, the Duke warned as the young knight went off to do battle in the land of Cort. There the knight would join forces with the magician, Pandolphe, whose wizardry could beguile kings and confound the fearsome forces of the monstrous Legalese. Together, they would rescue the Lady Lawra from the inky mire of illusory allusion. Join them and meet the Bailiff and Stenographer, Peter and Paul, King Meenot and the evil sorcerer, Wordlock, who miscasts phrases and misspells to cause vagueness and uncertainty where none should exist. Can there be happiness ever after for young lawyers? That is why we have bed time stories.

PRAISE FOR THE ADVENTURES OF FIRSTYR THE YOUNGER

The law is neither art nor science. Most often it is caprice. Mr. Pontacolonis allegory and poem would be a worthy addition to any first-year law students reading list. Indeed, I would make it required reading. A little bit of humility can go a long way in the practice of law.
