Law Humor

By Judge Jerry Buchmeyer

From Karan Hogan of San Antonio (Karen is the Court Investigator for Judge Polly Jackson Spencer, Probate Court No. One in Bexar County), this note sent to Judge Spencer by William Goodman, the court-appointed attorney ad litem " in the guardianship proceeding of the proposed ward the day after the hearing."

Prior to the hearing, I was talking with my client, the proposed ward, about her belief in spirits, and about how her deceased husband is a spirit who lives with his spirit girlfriends in the walls behind the bathroom. At one point she asked, "Are you a spirit?" I said I wasn't sure ? and anyway, how would I know?

"Well, to be a spirit," she said, "you would have to be appointed by God."

"I guess not then," I replied. "I'm just an attorney apointed by the judge."
