A self-styled humorist for lawyers, Fred Knipe (also known as Dr. Merlin F. Ludiker) lampoons clients, expert witnesses and lawyers themselves in a comedy routine that owes a debt of gratitude to Peter Sellers. Knipe, an erstwhile law student, Army intelligence operative, concrete salesman, country-and-western songwriter and ad man has made his living selling humor to gatherings of lawyers, many of whom praise him as a much-needed antidote to the climate of lawyer-bashing in the popular culture.
