Attorneys At LOL: 30 Times Lawyers Had A Good Laugh About Their Profession From This IG Page

Truth, not a meme

Just do what they do in DC:"This page left deliberately blank."

When all the engineers are taken

Bwahaha!

Yeah... well that applies to any job then.

Sometimes that last one never happens and you remain scratching your head.

Bad policy that's more about bragging rights than performance. Class rank and bar exams are not reliable predictors of career excellence or mediocrity. They just establish that you have enough intelligence and persistence to get your foot in the door.

Paralegal for the last 16 years, can confirm.

Simple - nice word Simple Law - Syntax Error

That's just recycling, not plagiarism :P

Immigration is worse because in immigration court the judge works for the same agency the opposing counsel does.

Don't forget a mechanic!

The canine is can't ing.

Why are laws so hard to find and convoluted that we have to go to a lawyer just to figure out if something is wrong?

Usually it isn't clients I want to be mean to, it is the government attorney and sometimes the judge. And occasionally family members of clients.

Boards up letterbox and leaves country

This sounds like life in general, not just a lawyer thing. And they shouldn't teach how to control your temper in law school. They should teach it in *grade* school. Like *every year* of grade school.

Best decision of my life was quitting the practice of law. I work as a claims adjuster now. More money and way less hours. My advice, don't become a lawyer. It's a soul sucking profession.

And therefore, my husband left the huge, multi-state, white shoe law firm and started his own little one man office, and he lived happily ever after.

what is this scene from?

Come on, if your dog is mad at you, you are doing a terrible job at having a pet

Almost happened to me. Then I looked around at the other pre-law people and noped right out of there.

Big problem that knowing literally nothing usually includes not knowing how little they know.

I want to pet kitty.

omg so true. If I go into a law office that's completely spotless/organised, I am immediately suspicious.

this is so true and should be number one

Poor Re-Greta

Even that's something, though. I've heard of people thinking they had to do stuff because of a contract they signed, which it turned out legally wasn't even a contract.

"Lawyers have no sense of humor about getting disbarred because they spend so much time and money getting barred." - Archie Goodwin

And that's the lawyer you ask for.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said "I could have gone to law school but..."

I see law as solving puzzles and trying to sort things out neatly. If someone wants to act up, argue the toss, and be dramatic they might want to think about politics.

Pay a good attorney to do it right the first time, or pay them twice as much to fix it when a bad attorney screws it up.

The best lawyer never sees the inside of the court room.

I see what you did there

Mmmm. None of my best math students ever became a lawyer. But several of the lousy ones did. So, yeah.

ACCURATE

What you learn in law school other than the theory of how law evolves is how to be a good law student because it's largely taught by people who were superb law students but MOST have not practiced and forget about doing actual courtroom litigation.

That is a nightmare.

Been a lawyer close to 20 years, in the courtroom, before juries and NEVER ONCE has the rule of perpetuities come up.

This has to be one of the most accurate memes I've ever seen.

‘Friends’? Lawyers have friends?

The plaintiff claims are without merit. We will defend vigorously.

I've hired 2 lawyers in my life and neither seemed to have any anxiety for me in particular. If they did, though, they were banger at hiding it. 😆

I want to study to be an engineer, I have had this equation memorised since Grade 9

Back in the 1990s, after Billy Joel divorced Christy Brinkley and wrote several heart-wrenching songs, I joked never to break the heart of a superior songwriter. FTR, I'd be afraid to break the heart of a lawyer, too.

Really, this is after a long day of anything!

I'm 15 years into my law career. A new bakery recently opened down the road from me. Not gonna lie.... I walk past it almost every day thinking exactly the same thing.

Can I take the dog home with me?

The pandemic did bring a new puzzle into my life, people that are warm enough without their trousers on.

Left hand picture, she was a publisher, not a lawyer.
