Gathered from the popular website www.StellaAwards.com, The True Stella Awardsis an outrageous collection of America's most frivolous lawsuits. The most ridiculous of these lawsuits are given the "honourable" Stella Award. In The True Stella Awards, Cassingham documents the most outlandish of these real-life cases, including- The man who legally changed his name to Jack Ass, and then sued MTV because their TV show and movie Jackass infringed on his trademark and demeaned his "good name" The songwriter who left a minute's silence on his record only to be sued by the estate of another songwriter who copyrighted his own "silent" song The man who sued an amusement park after being the victim of the ultimate "act of God"- He was hit by lightning while standing next to his own car in the parking lot Stunning and hilarious, The True Stella Awardsreveals the extremes people will go to in the pursuit of "justice."

Randy does a good job of looking at various law suits from around the country that are just a sampling of frivolous lawsuits that clutter up our court system. He avoids the legalese and puts it in language the man on the street can understand. This book will have you shaking your head in amazement at the things people will sue over. While this book in and of itself won't help stop the frivolous suits to any great extent, it will make you stop and think the next time you read or hear about a law suit that may be one that should never have been filed.
All stories are from Randys web site http://www.stellaawards.com/ and expanded on for suits that reached a conclusion before publication. ( )
