Legal Humor
The Junior Partner
- A junior partner in a firm was sent to a far-away state to represent a
long-term client accused of robbery. After days of trial, the case was won,
the client acquitted and released. Excited about his success, the attorney
telegraphed the firm: "Justice prevailed."
The senior partner replied in haste: "Appeal immediately."
Valentine's Day
- A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding
man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink
envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and
starts spraying scent all over them.
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man
and asks him what he is doing. The man says "I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine
cards signed, 'Guess who?'"
"But why?" asks the man. ( I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies. )

The Bartender
- A man walked into a bar with his alligator and asked the bartender, "Do
you serve lawyers here?"
"Sure do," replied the bartender.
"Good," said the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a lawyer for my 'gator."
Law Professor
- The professor of a contract law class asked one of his better students,
"If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it?"
The student replied, "Here's an orange."
The professor was outraged. "No! No! Think like a lawyer!"
The student then replied, "Okay. I'd tell him `I hereby give and convey to
you all and singular, my estate and interests, rights, claim, title, claim and
advantages of and in, said orange, together with all its rind, juice, pulp,
and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze
and otherwise eat, the same, or give the same away with and without the pulp,
juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before or hereinafter or in any deed,
or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in
anywise notwithstanding...'"
