Studying law is generally seen as a very serious intellectual pursuit, that requires a good deal of intelligence and dedication to successfully complete. While this is absolutely true, it doesn't mean that students have to leave their sense of humor at the door!
Turns out, that all those long, hard hours of study help to nurture a special kind of cynical wit. Self aware and bitingly dark, this list of lawyer jokes compiled by Bored Panda really raise the bar. Don't believe us? Scroll down below to check them out, and judge for yourself!

I want to up-vote it for making a good point, but down-vote it for making a joke out of police brutality.
Can't be Irish as a Garda (Irish police officer) would never ask for licence and registration. Licence and registration is an American phrase. Here, we have insurance and car tax on disks on the windscreen which the Gardai can check themselves. No such thing as registration.
It's not based in Ireland. Just because it's an Irish cop, doesn't mean he would still use the same words he would in Ireland. He has to use the country he is in phrases.

Sadly, too many of their clients are condemned to death. If only the perpetrators could be better held to account.
Great organization. If you aren't familiar with their life-saving work, please check them out: http://www.http://aldf.org/

Load More Replies...It is read as if the kittens are the lawyers.. :) but everyone should support them!
Kitten lawyers would be absolutely adorable in their wee neckties and business suits. Effective, too. Who is going to rule against a kitten?
Load More Replies...Haahahha... I didn't see that coming. Neither did the accused or the judge.
Argh! That's "...accused of..." Way to mess with a linguistic pedant's head!
Hahahahaa... took me a sec to get, but this one is hilarious. Up-voting it right away.
Are you hiding in your desk drawer? Sorry - I know what you meant really. :-)
Load More Replies...As no-one else has explained yet I'll do my best though it's not my greatest skill. You often get free trials for some product, eg 30 days free movies . Instead this person clicked on a free trial but it was a trial for murder The joke is also that as it was free they either had a bad lawyer or no lawyer so were convicted for murder. Hope that helps. :-)
Load More Replies...I find this actually funny enough to make me laugh out loud, my Uncle's also a lawyer and his sense of humour is on point, he'd like this joke.
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP.... That extra 4th clap, cringed you a little, didn't it? Hehe!! xD!
To all the ppl wondering what's wrong with the noses of the characters: it's the drawing style of the artist Shen (Blue Chair, Shen Comix, Live with yourself, etc...)
Three stooges in a lawyer skit: Dewey, Cheatham and Howe
Load More Replies...But...um, if you get convicted for Perjury isn't the murder charge going to follow? Maybe I'm missing the point with this one. It happens!
Ummm, I think it's just a joke... not an actual legal exercise.
Load More Replies...As an introvert myself I've experienced that sensation. The judge was understanding...
Ooh - got to agree with you again. Had a weird boss who once did that to me. We went the same direction and she even kept bumping into me and didn't seem to be able to walk in a straight line. We'd been in all day meeting so I know she wasn't drunk. I had to get a train going in the wrong direction just to get away!!
Load More Replies...look my fashion sense in stuck in the 80's but who the hell taught these guys how to color match their outfits?!?
I think we should try this in court. Could make trials much shorter.
You are right - did it and our couple works since 1997
Load More Replies...When a sci-fi lover turns into professional billboard designer!
Ye-es... though I'm thinking they might need to consider a career change.
Load More Replies...This billboard is right outside one of our fave dim sum joints in Vancouver, Canada and it is 100% legit.
My dog sent an email this morning. Unfortunately, I hadn't finished it and it was to a customer. She clearly needs more lessons.
Load More Replies...Have you heard that scientists are using lawyers in their experiments now? Because there are some things that even rats won't do.
What do you call 5000 lawyers chained at the bottom of the sea? A good beginning.
Yes "Perfectionism" is not OCD but it is apart of it. Someone with OCD always wants things in certain order and if something is not in the right order or place or someone moves something slightly out of plapal until that has been corrected, it drives them crazy and causes bad anxiety. There are many other things that make up OCD and that is why I said ”perfectionism” is not OCD but only a small part of it.
Load More Replies...Aw, don't be sad - perhaps you could think of it as no longer needing to play games looking for someone?
Load More Replies...What would we do without Google and Wikipedia? Buy Dictionaries and Encyclopedias. For you younger people who have no clue what those things are, you'll have to google it. ;-)
i've always resented a little bit that even when i know i've done nothing wrong, when i see a cop i feel paranoid not safe.
Appeal! The doc didn't request any response and as the response was the lawyers own decision it was a Negative Contractual Binding which is not allowed in Sweden..
True. But the doctor did not ask for the advice ;-). He/she just got it, without asking. Or a part of the story is left behind, then the bill would be justified. :-)
Load More Replies...She's turning it around as a positive. It's not "good sexism" it's turning the tables on sexism.
Load More Replies...Hey, no need to be rude to GuineaPigMaster for his comment. Just because you didn't find it awesome like they did that they commented first, doesn't give anyone the right to be rude about it. Haven't any of you heard the saying ” if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all”?
Lawyer asks the dog: Who's a good boy? Since dog is a "good boy", he's innocent of all crime or he would be a "bad boy".
Load More Replies...Because Priests are called “father”. Like if there were a priest named John, they’d be called Father John. And then in “law”, lawyers work with the law
Load More Replies...Well, at least you'd know what you were getting straight away rather than finding out part way through the case.
Hmm.. part time lawyer, part time D**k's Sporting Goods person... sounds like him
And then the Man says "Hey, when did I asked the first question?" Lawyer - "That will be $200!"
@BoredDragonfly: We come on BP to have fun and relax. We learn new things, we care and share. But there are always the people who are rude for no apparent reason, or they are deliberately offensive. Others put too much importance on their point balance. Some just like to hold grudges. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, or get my sense of humour. My Sarcasm is not always recognised. And anything you say is going to offend someone (Lol). I have been harassed, bullied, called names, and threatened. I've had derogatory comments about my age and gender, etc. You see comments that are racial, sexist, etc. that are extremely offensive. That kind of behaviour should not be tolerated on BP. The really offensive comments should be removed, not just hidden. Surely there is someone at BP who monitors this. Thanks for listening to my rant (Lol)
Also, Sometimes I offend people without meaning to. I try to clarify and apologise. The only people I am purposely rude to are those who have attacked me with no good cause (the ones who do it to everyone), or the comment is extremely offensive.
Load More Replies...Thankfully there was no cat in the courtroom, else that cat would have taken over prosecutor's pillow and he could have never "rested" his case.
And he could have just stepped in it (though that rarely happens with dogs I guess). There is no poop on his tongue ;-)
Load More Replies...I wish people won't stop associating tattoos with incompetence. I know lots of people without them and they are not the sharpest tool in the shed and vice versa.
But having a tattoo on your face might be considered an error of judgement
Load More Replies...And, IIRC, the person who made that post was pretty apologetic for being a judgmental a*s.
Load More Replies...Maybe it's a cultural thing. I am polynesian myself and I know many polynesians, for example from new Zealand that tattoo their chins as a sign of respect that they have earned. Does not mean they are uneducated or illiterate or incompetent.
I know several upstanding citizens with facial tattoos. My favorite would be Twwly. Open your mind to people.

Load More Replies...Lol, I totally heard that plea in Aziz Ansari's voice of Tom from Parks and Rec! XD
There are 24 beers in a case, and the wife would leave because he's an alcoholic not because of the pun 😉
Load More Replies...At 35, in the process of training to obtain my third profession qualifications, I must realize- that probably, law would have been perfect. Well, it just does always depend, doesn't it?
and we said that on The Highway To Hell (song)
Load More Replies...Gamestation actually put a 'you agree we own your soul' clause in their terms and agreements page for an April Fool's joke. There was an option to opt out of that bit and also be rewarded with a £5.00 voucher, but 88% of people who made a transaction that day sold their souls (gamestation officially gave them back later!)
That is so funny! Glad to hear they got their souls back :-)
Load More Replies...Seriously, someone. I don't know where they went, I was busy texting my mom. Find the defendant.
When my eldest daughter was in Kindergarten (so, she was about 5) she brought home a "contract" from the teacher that we all had to sign. We read it to her. It was about taking responsibilities seriously, and putting in her best efforts on the school work, etc. When we finished reading it, she emphatically said, "I'm NOT signing THAT!"
Contracts signed by a minor are not legally binding... Just saying ;)
Load More Replies...I don't have "one" question, I have "many". Dramatic Lawyer, so everyone gasps.
Load More Replies...This is from The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is a pretty funny (and utterly absurd) show.
This is why when you know your going to loose against someone you selflitigate then go set in thier lawyers office for like a s**t ton of time.
Everytime I hear motion denied this is the picture that will come to mind.
Aw... It would be more fun if they were allowed to do things like this.
I chose Lawyer-Grey for his underpants as well... I'm not sure what colour 'important' is.
Saw a programme only recently about how so many inmates have smart phones in prison. It won't be a problem.
With the way things are going now, he'll be able to sue the judge for that discrimination.
Peppermint Patty probably told him he was, after telling you that you're a funny-looking boy
The joke is that everyone else doesn't know... - what does it mean (tried translating it - didn't help)
Load More Replies...HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE COMMENTS???? THIS IS HILARIOUS!!! I wish I could upvote this, but I was too late...
I don't think you'd graduate law school and pass the bar exam without being willing to write out entire words.
There's a difference between not being able to do it and just not wanting to do it. This one is clearly the latter.
Load More Replies...Retirement. You still identify as a lawyer but don't have to go run the tread mill any longer
Load More Replies...While I agree with you- I repeat - CAN WE JUST ENJOY THE DAMNED JOKES WITH OUT PC IDIOTIC COMMENTS?????
Load More Replies...Yay, more anti-marriage jokes that imply murderous desire is a standard result of marriage. WTF do people even get married?
Tax reasons. It's also easier to get a loan if you have a spouse.
Load More Replies...I thought it was that till this comment said otherwise.
