Another Batch of Funny Lawyer Jokes
How many lawyer jokes are there? ONLY 3. All the rest of them are TRUE STORIES.
Lawyer on Holiday
A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean.
The lawyer said, ‘I’m here because my house burned down, and all I owned was destroyed by the fire. The insurance company paid for everything and I’m using some of the insurance money for this trip.’
‘That’s quite a coincidence,’ said the engineer. ‘I’m here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a flood, and my insurance company also paid for everything.’
The lawyer looked confused… ‘How do you start a flood?’
Lawyers Served in the Pub
A man walked into a bar with an alligator under his arm and asked the bartender, ‘Do you serve lawyers here’.
‘Yes’, said the bartender.
‘Good’, said the man, ‘In that case I’ll have a whisky and a lawyer for my alligator’.
The Jury:
In a criminal justice system based on 12 individuals not smart enough to get out of jury duty, here is a jury of which to be proud.
A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defense’s closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick.
‘Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all, ‘the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. ‘Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom. ‘He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened.
Finally, the lawyer said, ‘Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I, therefore, put it to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed, and I insist that you return a verdict of not guilty.’
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
‘But how?’ inquired the lawyer. ‘You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door.’ The jury foreman replied, ‘Yes, we did look, but your client didn’t look he just stared straight ahead.’
Addendum: This jury story has all the hallmarks of a lawyer joke that has a grain of truth, but that has been
embellished.

Do Lawers Have Hearts?
Jo Andrews at the Red Cross realized that they had not ever received a donation from one of Philedelphia’s most successful lawyers. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his smart office suite.
The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, ‘Our research shows that even though your annual income is over 6 million dollars, you don’t give a cent to charity. Wouldn’t you like to give something back to your community through the Red Cross?’
The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, ‘First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?’
Embarrassed, the Red Cross rep mumbles, ‘Uh… no, I didn’t know that.’
‘Secondly,’ says the lawyer, ‘did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?
The stricken Red Cross rep begins to stammer an apology but is cut off again.
‘Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister’s husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another who has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?’
The humiliated Red Cross rep, completely beaten, says, ‘I’m so sorry. I had no idea.’
And the lawyer says, ‘So if I didn’t give any money to them, what makes you think I’d give any to you?’
