Lit Up

Many times, you think your lawyer is drunk in court, but this lawyer took that concept to a whole new level.  This judge deserves a place in heaven for her fair and even-handed treatment of the man, who just can't keep everything straight.  Cringe-worthy.

Lawyer Hazing

Some really great lawyer set up a hazing for a new associate. It's mean, and funny.

Clients Say The Funniest Things, Part Two

Some more quotes:

  • A man said, "The insurance company said our policy collapsed. We never got no notice it collapsed!"
  • A lady said that her agreement was in "verbal writing."
  • A man said he read of a legal case where a lady had made "deflammatory acquisitions" and was ordered by the judge to make "restitory" statements.
  • A man wondered why his neighbors in a road dispute did not get a "cist and deceased" order (cease and desist).
  • A subcontractor had not been paid, but said he had signed a "waive liener." (Lien waiver)
  • A man urged his brother to sign a medical power of attorney, because he was sure his brother would not want to be in a "vegetarian state."

All of this is true ...

... to the best of my recollection.  People do say and do funny things.  And it's up to us to remember them and never, ever let them forget.
