Trigger Warning - Brooks Eason

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. Why, there have been dogs to walk, stories to tell, concerts to host, and books to write.

Including this one, which consists of 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.
