At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, the David M. Hunt Library will host local author Tom Morrison in conversation with Cynthia Hochswender about his latest book, “Who Put the Bots in the Tort$?” Having spent 45 years trying cases around the country, Morrison’s books blend his legal expertise with humor and satire. His book “Send in the Tort Lawyer$” was a semifinalist for the Mark Twain Award for humor and satire. With decades of legal experience, Morrison makes intricate legal concepts accessible to readers. Books will be available for purchase and light refreshments will be served.
