I love Lawyers

"Bailiff."

'Normally, I hate a rush to judgement - but I'm doing this case pro bono.'

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

'Don't blame the lawyer!'

"...And the court awards you twenty five thousand for the loss of faculty in your right arm."
