"Whoever she runs to wins custody."

'Make him laugh, make him cry.'

Trial by Media

'How do you plead, in twenty-five words or less?'

"Your Honor, we're going to go with the prosecution's spin."

'Look -- I'm willing to forget about all this if you are.'

"Whoa, don't ask constitutional questions you don't want to know the answers to."

'I think I'll become a lawyer.'

You don't believe I could be a supreme court justice! You're ruining my self-esteem! F.Y.I? � Whiny tirades don't look good on a supreme court justice's record. Thank you for your candid assessments. I will certainly consider their merits. Fine judicial temperament. And reject them for their shallow insensitivity! Rejection overruled.

"Since you have already been convicted by the media, I imagine we can wrap this up pretty quickly."

Prosecution bears the burden of proof. Defense bears the burden of twisting and distorting said proof.

"The prosecution shall stop referring to the defendant as 'the alleged, totally guilty as sin guy'."

"Lights! Camera! Justice!"

'We have irreconcilable differences -- he's a MAN!'

"Objection! Pummelling the witness."

"I'm sorry, sir, but I've got to ask you another question. I heard someone in the courtroom shout out the correct answer."

'Do you expect the jury to believe that? And, more importantly, do you expect the viewers of the eventual TV movie of this trial to believe it?'

"The ignorance of the lawyer is no excuse."

'The next case Your Honor, is a palimony suit. The ant vs the grasshopper.'

Robert Macaire as a Solicitor

'You are both charged with quarrelling without a license!'

"They're class action figures."

Sue The Bastards

"Am I going to get my just desserts?"

"Better that a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man be convicted, right?"
