LAWYER JOKES
A judge in a semi-small city was hearing a
drunk-driving case and the defendent, who had both a
record and a reputation for driving under the influence,
demanded a jury trial. It was nearly 4 p.m. and getting a
jury would take time, so the judge called a recess and
went out in the hall looking to impanel anyone available
for jury duty. He found a dozen lawyers in the main lobby
and told them that they were a jury. The lawyers
thought this would be a novel experience and so followed
the judge back to the courtroom. The trial was over in
about 10 minutes and it was very clear that the defendent
was guilty. The jury went into the jury-room, the judge
started getting ready to go home, and everyone waited.
After nearly three hours, the judge was totally out of
patience and sent the bailiff into the jury-room to see
what was holding up the verdict. When the bailiff
returned, the judge said, "Well have they got a
verdict yet?"

The Jury
The bailiff shook his head and said, "Verdict? Hell,
they're still doing nominating speeches for the foreman's
position!"
