Great New Legal Humor Website

February 14th, 2010

I stumbled onto a new website called Overheardincourt.com today. It is comedic gold for any lawyer or law student. Just a few favorites:

The Judge: Have you got a lawyer?
Defendant: No, sir.
The Judge: Do you want a lawyer to defend you?
Defendant: Not really, sir.
The Judge: Well, what do you propose to do about the criminal case against you?
Defendant: Well, as far as I’m concerned, I’m willing to drop the case entirely.
“Let’s Just All Move Along”

Judge: In accordance with the jury’s verdict, I sentence you to 3,756 years.
Defendant: Judge, how can I possibly do that much time?
Judge: Just do the best you can.
“How Can I Possibly”

(Witness being questioned)
Q: So you thought that it would be better to stay away, right?
Objection your honor! Leading.
Judge: Overruled.
Atty: So does that mean I can go on?
“No Courtroom Language Please!”

This great piece of advise is illustrated in the video below:

The Park Knight

January 20th, 2010

...he's the hero that the Playground deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we won't play with him...because he can take it...because he's not a hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...a Park Knight...
