Court Security Mugs

'If you lose my briefs you can answer to the Judge!'

'This is my partner. He'll be taking care of the small print.'

"Our new associate asks how much of a fee is too much. Do you want to handle this or shall I laugh in his face?"

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

"You moved two spaced and then one space to the side? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that sure sounds illegal."

"Bailiff."

'When you get up on the stand be sure to keep your answers short. A whole lot of barking will only frighten the jury.'

"Gimme a 'D'! Gimme an 'N'! Gimme an 'A'!"

"He doesn't suffer fools gladly."

"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."

'During the break, my client stole my wallet.'

'Your honor, I'd like a short recess so my client can make a run for it.'

'Then if there are no objections, we will recess until tomorrow morning.'

"Once again, I simply don't recall."

'I don't suppose there's any way I could serve my sentence on line?'

"The Defendant must stop trying to side-step every question the prosecution asks!"

'Ignorance of the law is no excuse, dummy!'

'I didn't know it was a one-trip salad bar!'

'Is there any chance I could do the five years vicariously?'

'We the jury find the defendant very, very, very, guilty.'

"Apparently, you have very little respect for our judicial system, sauntering in here with only one lawyer."

"This jury may not be swayed by any defense that relies on emotion."

'Court is recessed until the big hand is on the three.'
