Legal Humor

Legally Certifiable led me to this marvelous little site called Courtoons by David Mills. He posts a new one every day, and while they don't make me laugh out loud quite as often as lolcats (and I'm not ashamed to admit it), I almost always giggle. Here are a few of my favorites:

I'm drafting an initial complaint right now and am especially fond of the Bluebook and honest briefing cartoons. I feel a little overwhelmed. I know I'm supposed to "enjoy challenge" and want "increased responsibility" and I'm sure I used all those buzzwords in my interviews, but as I stare at this blank word document, having been tasked by a partner a want to impress with drafting this complaint, I think rote repetition and menial tasks sound quite lovely.

Also, is it a little sad that I find these courtoons so hilarious? I read this article the other day about an Australian swim coach tossing a crocodile in the pool to make his kids swim faster and my first thoughts were: (1) where are the plaintiffs lawyers? and (2) was there a consent form and what parent would sign it?

I guess it means that I really am a lawyer.
