About the play "There's No Justice — Just Court Costs"
The play follows Attorney Fox and his luckless clients as they maneuver their way through the local courthouse seeking that elusive goal — Justice. Justice, it seems, occurs when Fox, surprisingly, wins on occasion. Injustice occurs when the other side prevails. As a result, Justice and Injustice often occur simultaneously in the same courtroom before the same confused Judge. There’s only so much Justice to go around, and sometimes the supply appears to be depleted.
The World premiere of this play took place on stage in August of 2009 at the Pennsylvania Playhouse in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The play was professionally videotaped and edited, resulting in a two hour DVD of the performance. The DVD can be purchase by going to the Purchase page
An eight minute sample of the play’s DVD can be accessed on this website as well. View the trailer NOW.

Quotations from poor souls appearing in the play.
Old Lady:
"If I spend all my money now, can these damn nursing home
people get any of it after I'm dead?"
Old Lady:
"Thanks for all that great advice, Counselor. By the way,
I hope you don't plan to send me a bill just for talking to you."
Criminal:
"So, I piss in this cup, right? Now my jerk parole officer
writes a report sayin' I'm positive for heroin. Look, Counselor,
what if I can prove I only snort coke."
Blonde Airhead:
"In my Will, if I like … want my pancreas to be donated to …
I don't know … like to the Salvation Army …
and nobody wants it, will they … like … freeze it?"
State Trooper on the witness stand:
"I arrested the defendant for drunk driving. When I told him
his eyes were bloodshot, he responded that my eyes appeared
to be slightly glazed, and he asked if I had stopped at a
Dunkin' Donuts on my way to the scene of the accident."
