Entertaining Court System Episodes

By Michael Josephs


1- When a court case begins, various people are chosen to serve as members of a jury. First, a set of persons is selected in the case's local region thereby making a first group of potential jurors. For the sake of the integrity of the legal process, the choice of an individual juror can be contested through a legal vetting system. Any member of the group of selected jurors can be interrogated as to his or her views regarding various ideas and beliefs relevant to the process. It might come as some surprise to a client however, in fact it might be better to think of getting a new lawyer in the event that yours comes up to each juror and in a steely glare starts counting off each one with the heady words 'duck duck goosey!'

2- There is a prevalent hatred directed to members of the legal profession; ubiquitous commentary on the injustices that they perpetrate and the sliminess of there characters are notorious. It is true that a subset of these attorneys have earned the harsh report that surrounds them. In an attempt to win each and every case, a hardworking attorney will diligently apply the legal precedent to his client's needs. However, in the perspective of the opposing party there is a burning implacable anger at the narrow arguments that strain credulity. But sometimes people's animosity goes too far like when a particular group of lawyers was vacationing in the Caribbean when they became suddenly caught in an underwater cave; the rescue dispatcher was heard to remark: "O weeelll that's a good start!"

3- A lawyer is thinking all the time. The work is piling up in his docket and a never-ending supply of cases necessitates active client contact and reviews. Depending on the firm, there are numerous opportunities to work on a variety of subjects stretching the limits of the smartest attorneys. Remember your lawyer is a real person filled with the ordinary pressures of debts, married life and more. As he learns and works more the strain may become greater and greater to the point that he needs to remove some of the pressure. All of this stress may make him a bit unresponsive whilst a client expects clear and quick results. The work world being what it is there really is not enough time to enjoy it as much as he or she would like to. It may cause a general reduction in the work quality of your lawyer. However, if you catch him playing a video game during rebuttals rest assured its time for a new lawyer.

4- An attorney's wardrobe can include a variety of dark colors including blues, browns or the ubiquitous ash colored suit. Sometimes a few pinstripes are thrown in to provide a dash of the 'mysterious.' As we said before it seems that an attorney is surrounded by haters of all types; his clothing is no different. A heroic lawyer ran to help a friendly neighbor who had the unfortunate fate of being involved in a pharmaceutical bust; how unfortunate.

When he approached the unfortunate soul, the police K-9 unit attacked the attorney. Immediately the sergeant in charge of the bust radioed for EMTs to come to the scene and save him from his wounds. When asked the nature of his wounds the cops', aware that the attorney had previously helped obtain the release of the poor soul replied that he's really not all that bad. He's wearing a black bulldog overcoat and a brown pinscher double-layered bottom's up pair of pants with a red streak here and there. OUCH.
