If the law makes you nervous, you are not alone. Something about the legal system seems just so strict with little to no room for error. Luckily, on the internet, everything gets ridiculed no matter what, which helps us to look at serious topics more lightheartedly.
As with any career, the law has its positives and negatives. Some of the negatives can make an impact on personal life, such as burnout, emotional exhaustion, toxic company culture, being too hard on yourself, and more. So it is important to learn and set healthy boundaries, listen to the body, remind yourself that you are doing your best at any given moment, and have a life outside work that could support you. And what is also proven to take the edge off is laughter. So this time, we invite you to chuckle with us at these law memes mostly shared by the Facebook page Dank Law Memes.
The page has already a substantial fan base of 227K followers, and maybe after this post, you would like to join them for the ride.

Wonderful idea. . Now this dog's needs puppies to confort them from all the bad things they heard.
Why don't we just "hold court" (how do you say in modern English? I'm not native, haha) in a puppy daycare? That'd be awesome! (but no doggos for the perpetrator until proven guilty!)

The comfortee in the pic on the left appears to be an older man, based on size & details of hand. It shows that not all abuse victims are children.
There's even a deaf dog so he doesn't have to hear all the legal jargon attorneys use. No there is a deaf dog really.
I was a juror in a trial that led to several attempted murder convictions. It was so traumatic just hearing and seeing everything in court. I wish the victims and jury box had access to an emotional support dog.
I would hire them in a heartbeat!! Even pay them in kitties treats and cat nip (aka kitty crack).
Well, they can't be attorneys at garlic bread. Vampires are allergic to garlic.
No no lawyers aren't vampires, they are different blood suckers, they are leeches.

Load More Replies...My dad would say attorneys at large, as if they're all just wandering the streets
The question is where. If an attorney studies for his exams at an italian restaurant he's "attorney at garlic bread"
Load More Replies...I've never understood why they call themselves that - attorneys at law. I mean, are there other kinds of attorneys that I just don't know about?
Every attorney is a lawyer but not all lawyers are attorneys; the 'at law' means they can represent a client at court; not all attorneys work in the court system
Even though being in law business can take its toll on a person, it has some positive aspects too. The sense of accomplishment that comes from assisting others is one of the advantages of a legal career. Lawyers play an important role in society by upholding justice and protecting individuals' rights, whether in court, negotiating a settlement, or simply providing legal advice.
Another benefit of pursuing a legal career is the variety of fields and specializations available. Lawyers can practice in a wide range of areas, such as criminal law, corporate law, environmental law, intellectual property law, and many others. This allows people to find a legal field that matches their interests and passions, resulting in a more fulfilling career.
If there is a hell, I would still be thinking about it, if not, I will dream about it through oblivion.

I work in court. Your Highness, Your Grace, Mom, Dad, Sire (not sir, but Sire) - I've heard it all and so have the judges.
15 years from now, that thought will wake you up in a cold sweat at 3am on a random tuesday
That's probably appropriate since we seem to be subjects rather than citizens...
I used to work for a Charity which could accompany Clients to Court, my Client kept calling the male Barrister 'Madam' even though I discretely told her he was male. Often Clients were very flustered about how to address a Judge, so please don't feel bad x
Notice how the font completely changed after the word ‘said’? It means that the op took the original tweet and edited it to be funny. The tweet did not say that the child genuinely say that, it’s just a joke. (Unless you’re joking then feel free to whoosh me 😁)
Load More Replies...However, to get into law, you first must go through law school. Law school can be both exciting and difficult. Law school necessitates time, commitment, and hard work, but it also provides students with a wealth of knowledge and opportunities for personal and professional development.
One of the most difficult aspects of being a law student is the workload. Law students must read and analyze complex legal texts, participate in class discussions, and write lengthy papers. However, this workload is necessary in order to develop the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the legal profession.
little? the bar exam's extremely gobnormously DIFFICULT, I'd consider it a GOBNORMOUS victory! congrats on op!
Load More Replies...Now I feel even sorrier for those who took multiply tries to pass the bar.
If you didn't notice the witness was bald/had no perm, I would hire another lawyer immediately.
This pops in my mind at the oddest times, especially where the judge is like, "I think we've established that she was, in fact, IN THE SHOWER."
Arguing means I'm wrong about something. I'm never wrong, hence not arguing.
Make friends with attorneys and discover that they are never not litigating. (all my friends are attorneys - I'm a court interpreter)
I use similar with the wife when she tells me to stop arguing, I say, I'm not arguing I'm simply explaining why I'm right 👍
In addition, law students must navigate the competitive nature of the field in addition to the academic workload. Law school grades are frequently based on a curve, which means that students compete with their peers for the highest grades. This can lead to a stressful and intense environment, but it also fosters student camaraderie and teamwork.
Law school doesn't teach whether it's good or not That's where the real world comes in
I learned the very basics of contract law when I was taking my lessons for my insurance license

That amount is way too low. TO quote a former KGB general, who created more agents in the 1970s in the US (when he was a junior officer) than anyone else "It's easy to get people to turn, I just offer a million dollars, and work up from there. If you have the money, everyone is buyable"
Why do I find it funny that communists bought out spies?
Load More Replies...Seems typical of every lawyer I've known and I have a cousin that is an ADA.
Despite these difficulties, being a law student has its benefits. Law school allows students to develop critical thinking, research, and writing skills that are necessary in the legal profession. It also allows students to explore various areas of law and discover their area of interest.

I don't think that's lawyer specific. I think any field whose profession requires very specific wording would be appropriate here. Mathematicians come to mind immediately.
Nah, a mathematician would write something like: My love, If we consider my feelings for you as the set S, then I shall enumerate elements of S such that the constraints satisfied by the upper bounds of d(t) denoting the distance we are apart as a function of time, is convergent.

Load More Replies...I work as a legal assistant in a law firm. All of the lawyers there think the premise of "Suits" is absolutely ridiculous as no firm would ever knowingly hire a person as a lawyer who wasn't actually a lawyer.
Admittedly I haven’t watched it, but I thought (from the clips I’ve seen) that he passed the bar, but never went to law school. Does one need a JD degree to practice law, or do they just need to pass the bar -as that’s a licensing exam?

There famously was a labour dispute that was ruled in favour of the employees based on a single comma in the employment contract. I was a legal proofreader at the time and that case was legendary.
Lol, the placement of a comma will definitely change the entire meaning of a sentence.

Oh that's BS about the med school. Any medical training really. Every doctor, RN, PA, dentist, hygienist, etc I know (and I know a lot) has stories of their first year professors giving them something along the lines of "Look to your left, look to your right. By the time this course is over at least one will have failed because you're not as smart as your mommy told you."
Can lawyers have lawyers? (I know I'm gonna be downvoted but I wanna know)
Yes. There are many reasons a lawyer might hire another lawyer. Lawyers are specialized in certain areas of law and know only basic information about other areas of law, so they might not wanna do their own case if it's about a totally different area of law. Also, some lawyers are bad, some are good and some are excellent. If someone knows they themselves are good but not excellent, and they really wanna win their case, they might wanna hire an excellent lawyer. And if someone feels very emotional about their own case, because there is so much at stake or if the case is about a very emotional subject for them, their emotions might get in the way of doing their job well, so they might hire another lawyer. (And if your question wasn't about why they would want to, but about whether they're allowed to hire another lawyer: of course, it would be weird if there's a law that specifically says you're prohibited from hiring a lawyer if you happen to be a lawyer yourself)

An old joke: A physician and a lawyer were playing golf, and the doctor asks the lawyer "how do you deal with friends and family asking for advice?". The lawyer says "somle, I give them advice and then charge them for my time., they never ask for advice again", the doctor thanks the lawyer and they finish their golf game. The next day, the doctor gets a letter from the lawyer with a bill, "For services rendered, $150.00".
This is my life, getting on a taxi to work, and the moment the driver sees my destination is a law firm, the conversation will always go, "I've got a question...." then they go into a whole story about their legal problems and ask for advice. I don't mind answering but it gets annoying most days and I actually prefer the 2 buses alternative.
