Trigger Warning- Tales from a Life in the Law

Trigger Warning — Tales from a Life in the Law is filled with stories from the time when Brooks Eason decided to go to law school until he settled his last big case and decided he might just be retired.

The Law Is No Laughing Matter . . . Except When It Is.
Brooks Eason practiced law in Jackson, Mississippi, for forty years. Then, one day in the spring of 2023, he decided he might be retired. But he wasn’t sure. How, one might ask, could a man with a lifetime of experience and a post-graduate degree not know whether he’s retired?
Well, it’s complicated.

Though Brooks maintained both a title and an office with his firm, and though he remained on call for his biggest and best client, the phone hadn’t rung in a while, and he rarely went to the office. Not that he hasn’t been busy. There have been dogs to walk, stories to tell, house concerts to host, and books to write. Including this one, which consists of more than eighty stories spanning more than four decades, starting when Brooks decided to go to law school and ending when he settled his last big case shortly before he decided he might be retired. 

Praise for Trigger Warning

“This collection of fun, highly digestible, stories is a pure delight to read.”

“Brooks Eason's delightful little collection of anecdotes from his career in the law serves as a useful antidote to the popular negative perceptions of those who practice the profession.” 

“Follow Brooks Eason through his law career, and some of his private life too. Hear his best stories (one imagines them being retold often), woven together into a narrative of his career, education and family. Very entertaining and enjoyable book.”

 “Trigger Warning is more than just a collection of interesting anecdotes from a career in law. They are all interesting, most are amusing, one is tragic, but collectively they form an honest autobiography of a successful lawyer. Everyone has a story at the end of their professional career; fortunately Brooks Eason has a keen memory and vivid writing style to record his.”

“Imagine that you have a good friend of many years acquaintance. Imagine that he's full of stories he likes to tell in conversations. Then, imagine that the stories are interesting and shed some light on that overused term ‘the human condition.’ Imagine that he wrote down all those stories. Finally, imagine no more. This book is now available for purchase! You're going to enjoy reading this book as I have.”
