thanks to Skillshare for keeping legal
[1]
eagle in the air learn to think like a
[3]
lawyer for free for two months by
[4]
clicking the link in the description hey
[12]
legal eagles it's time to think like a
[14]
lawyer or today it's time to laugh like
[17]
a lawyer because we're going to have a
[18]
change of pace and instead of destroying
[20]
your favorite childhood movie or
[22]
explaining why your favorite legal drama
[24]
is completely full of holes Stella and I
[27]
are going to review some lawyer jokes
[30]
they're gonna make fun of me so what
[33]
I've done is I've asked a friend to
[34]
compile some lawyer jokes for me I
[36]
haven't seen these ahead of time but let
[38]
me know if you guys like this change of
[39]
format and I've done enough stuff about
[41]
PewDiePie to know that meme review is a
[43]
thing so let me know if you want me to
[45]
respond to legal or law school memes
[48]
I would love to make this a continuing
[50]
thing because who are we if we can't
[51]
laugh at ourselves let's see if this is
[53]
clean okay but without further ado let's
[58]
dig in to the first lawyer jokes an
[63]
attorney was working late one night in
[64]
his office when suddenly Satan appeared
[66]
before him the devil made him an offer I
[68]
will make it so you win every case that
[70]
you trying for the rest of your life
[71]
your clients will worship you your
[73]
colleagues will be in awe and you will
[75]
make an enormous amount of money but in
[77]
return you must give me your soul your
[79]
wife's soul the souls of your children
[80]
your parents grandparents and those of
[82]
all of your friends the lawyer thought
[84]
about it for a moment and then asked but
[86]
what's the catch okay you know we might
[89]
not have souls but we care about the
[92]
souls of the loved ones that are in our
[95]
lives also by the way it wouldn't be
[97]
unusual for Satan to operate in front of
[99]
us like that that happens every day
[102]
what's the difference between a lawyer
[104]
and a jellyfish one is a spineless
[106]
poisonous blob the other is a form of
[109]
sea life god I would say that most of
[112]
the lawyers that I know are actually
[114]
very courageous and are willing to work
[118]
very very hard for their clients why
[120]
would a lawyer be spineless I mean the
[121]
poisonous okay sure
[123]
a fifty year old lawyer who has been
[126]
practicing since he was 25 passed away
[129]
and arrived at the pearly gates for
[130]
judgment the lawyer said to st. Peter
[132]
there must be some mistake I'm only
[134]
fifty years old and that's far too young
[136]
to die st. Peter frowned and consulted
[139]
his book that's funny when we added up
[141]
all your billing records you should be
[142]
at least eighty-three by now I like that
[145]
one this one it's close to home because
[148]
there are some lawyers out there who are
[151]
unethical and they will build their
[153]
client for more work than they have
[155]
actually done and this is this is
[157]
reasonably ethical where you're on a
[161]
plane and because of the shift in time
[164]
zones you're actually able to build more
[166]
than 24 hours in the entire day if you
[169]
were literally working every single hour
[171]
of the day so you you know you spent you
[173]
were up all night you did an all-nighter
[175]
and then you flew backwards from the
[176]
East Coast the West Coast it is
[178]
conceivably possible and there are some
[179]
rock star associates who have been known
[182]
to do that
[183]
but yeah fair point God let's see if
[190]
this is clean
[190]
what is the Bar Association code of
[192]
ethics prevent sex between lawyers and
[194]
their clients to prevent clients from
[196]
being billed twice essentially the same
[198]
service you know hopefully you have a
[199]
better experience than will say getting
[202]
screwed by your attorney actually you
[204]
know California just changed their
[205]
ethics rules it used to be that in
[207]
California you could engage in a
[209]
romantic romantic relationship with your
[212]
client and now at least during the
[215]
pendency of your relationship is
[217]
unethical in California to have that
[219]
relationship with your clients so
[221]
realistically speaking you can get in
[222]
big trouble in California now that's a
[224]
that's a big change
[226]
at a convention of biological scientists
[229]
one researcher remarks to another did
[231]
you know that in our lab we have
[232]
switched from mice to lawyers for our
[235]
experiments really the other replied why
[237]
did you switch well for three reasons
[239]
first we found that lawyers are far more
[241]
plentiful second the lab assistants
[243]
don't get so attached to them and
[245]
thirdly there are some things even a rat
[247]
won't do but frankly you know if you
[251]
hire a lawyer and you need them to help
[254]
you on your case you're gonna want them
[256]
to be flexible and to be a zealous
[258]
advocate and to really get in the
[261]
trenches with the rest of the rats oh my
[263]
god lawyers are far more expensive than
[264]
rats though why did New Jersey get all
[268]
the toxic waste in California get all
[270]
the lawyers New Jersey got first pick
[273]
alright fair enough
[274]
the California legal market is huge
[276]
that's where I have practiced for most
[278]
of my career frankly yeah I prefer
[281]
California to New Jersey so suck at New
[283]
Jersey to physicians boarded a flight
[287]
out of Seattle one sat in the window
[289]
seat the other sat in the middle seat
[290]
just before takeoff an attorney got on
[292]
and took the aisle seat next to the two
[294]
physicians the attorney kicked off his
[296]
shoes wriggled his toes and was settling
[298]
in when the physician in the window seat
[299]
said I think I'll get up and get a coke
[302]
no problem said the attorney I'll get it
[304]
for you when he was done one of the
[305]
physicians picked up the attorneys shoe
[307]
and spat in it when he returned with a
[308]
coke the physician said that looks good
[310]
I think I'll have one too again the
[312]
attorney obligingly went to fetch it and
[314]
while he was gone the other physician
[315]
picked up the other shoe and spat in it
[317]
the attorney returned and they all sat
[319]
back and enjoyed the flight as the plane
[321]
was landing the attorney slipped his
[322]
feet into his shoes and knew immediately
[324]
what had happened how long must this go
[327]
on he asked this fighting between our
[329]
professions this hatred this animosity
[330]
the spitting in shoes pissing and cokes
[335]
so I have a lot of doctor friends I
[337]
don't think there's much animosity
[338]
between lawyers and and and and doctors
[342]
really it's just between me and and dr.
[344]
Mike because we've never done a
[346]
collaboration you know what you've done
[347]
dr. Mike dude you're hilarious and if
[349]
you ever want to make a youtube video
[351]
I'm so down
[352]
a lawyer was filling out a job
[355]
application when he came to the question
[356]
have you ever been arrested he answered
[359]
no next question intended for applicants
[361]
who had answered yes was why the lawyer
[364]
answered it never got caught so the
[368]
thing is it's really the rare exception
[370]
that it's like a Bernie Madoff or you
[374]
know some other corporate raider who has
[376]
done some illegal act that and the
[378]
doctors they're the real criminals a
[380]
[Music]
[384]
secretary a paralegal and a partner in a
[387]
city law firm are walking through a park
[389]
on their way to lunch when they find an
[391]
antique oil lamp they rub it and a genie
[393]
appears out of a puff of smoke the genie
[395]
says I only grant three wishes so I'll
[397]
give each of you just one me first me
[399]
first says the secretary I want to be in
[400]
the Bahamas driving a speedboat without
[402]
a care in the world
[403]
poof she's gone me next me next says the
[405]
paralegal I want to be in Hawaii
[407]
relaxing on the beach with my personal
[409]
masseuse and an endless supply of pina
[411]
coladas and a love of my life
[412]
poof he's gone you're next the genie
[414]
says to the partner the partner says I
[417]
want those two back in the office after
[418]
lunch oh there's definitely some truth
[421]
to that I have had some great luck in my
[425]
career to have some fantastic legal
[427]
secretaries and paralegals in my office
[430]
and they have saved my bacon on more
[433]
than one occasion man you're not getting
[436]
away that easily all right let's see
[440]
this one is in the first person I was in
[441]
juvenile court prosecuting a teen
[443]
suspected of burglary when the judge
[444]
asked everyone to stand in state his or
[446]
her name and role for the court reporter
[448]
Leah Roush deputy prosecutor I said
[451]
Linda Jones probation officer Sam Clark
[454]
public defender John said the teen who
[456]
was on trial I'm the one who stole the
[458]
truck okay yeah that one hits close to
[465]
home
[465]
if only I could control what my client
[468]
said at all times because they have a
[470]
habit of saying the worst possible thing
[472]
at the worst possible time it's a mark
[475]
of a good lawyer when you can control a
[477]
very bad witness
[480]
when my 88 year old mother was called
[482]
for jury duty she had to submit to
[484]
questioning by the opposing lawyers
[486]
that's called why dear have you ever
[487]
dealt with an attorney ask the
[489]
plaintiff's lawyer yes I had an attorney
[491]
write my living trust she responded how
[493]
did that turn out I don't know she said
[495]
ask me when I'm dead ah some good old
[500]
fashioned in the states and trust humor
[501]
that's that's always great all right
[505]
