"Behind the 'Lawyer Issues' meme page is an average lawyer who fell into many of the 'traps' of law school and the legal profession," the creator of the page tells Bored Panda the story of the account's inception. Like many, when it came to deciding what to study, the administrator of "Lawyer Issues" wasn't exactly sure what they wanted. "So I picked law school—or the faculty of law, as we say in Europe."

The creator tells us that they also flirted with the idea of becoming an engineer. "But lacking confidence in my math skills, I chose law instead," they explain. "That's another typical 'trap' drawing many young people to law schools. And what inspired me to start my meme page? It was the stress from my legal job, of course! I needed an outlet to vent my sarcasm," the creator laughs.

The Lawyer Issues Instagram page has 188k followers and is a trusty supply of The "Lawyer Issues" Instagram page has 188k followers; however, it’s not the only one in the Lawyer franchise. There's also a podcast, "Lawyer Interviews," which features interviews with successful lawyers, mostly law firm owners. They upload new videos on YouTube periodically.

“So far, we've conducted 56 biographical interviews and have also posted some video analyses of trending legal topics,” the page’s creator and the producer of the podcast tells Bored Panda.

“The original host, Reggie, is an amazing lawyer, and the current hosts, Jeff Dylan and Cynthia, are also lawyers. Jeff is a stand-up comedian based in NYC, so some of your readers might have the chance to catch one of his live shows.”

A lot of the content on the page has to do with debunking myths about what goes on in the daily life of a lawyer. The creator of "Lawyer Issues" shares some of the most absurd misconceptions about their profession they'd like to debunk. 

"One of the myths is that the activities portrayed in legal TV shows are similar to the real jobs of lawyers in the legal profession. This is something some law students believe because they watch those TV shows to see what awaits them after law school. Of course, this is not true." the page's administrator explains.

"I would recommend they watch our podcast 'Lawyer Interviews' to see firsthand what real attorneys talk about regarding practicing law. Also, I'd like to debunk another myth: that 'lawyers argue all day.' Again, this is not true. Arguing is actually the smallest part of a lawyer's job, but that doesn't stop non-lawyers from telling lawyers, 'I could have been a lawyer because my mom told me I'm good at arguing,'" the creator says.

The page's creator also feels very grateful to have such a successful page and podcast. "I would like to give my thanks to all the followers of the ‘Lawyer Issues’ meme page and the ‘Lawyer Interviews’ podcast. Also, a big thanks and shout-out to the hosts of 'Lawyer Interviews.' They have been kind enough to help me with this project."

You ready for some more lawyer jokes, pandas? In French, the word for "avocado" and "lawyer" is the same: "l'avocat." Louisiana firm Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys used this to their advantage and concocted a whimsical billboard. It's a picture of an avocado with an attorney's face inside it and the words "L'avocat? It's good for you either way!"

There's a similar joke in season one of Marvel's Daredevil (previously on Netflix, now on Disney+). The two main characters, best friends and lawyers Foggy and Matt, are talking about what they will name their future practice. Foggy mishears the Spanish word "abocados" for "avocados," joking that they will name it "Nelson & Murdock: Avocados At Law."

Have you ever wondered who're the most famous lawyers in U.S. history? Most sources online say it's Abraham Lincoln. Apparently, Lincoln wasn't a particularly good student of law, but he knew how to use other sources effectively. Perhaps that's because he was self-taught, like many lawyers of his time. However, he was very good in a courtroom, and people revered him for his ability to deliver good opening and closing arguments.

Another prominent figure in U.S. lawyer history is Thurgood Marshall. He was the first African-American Supreme Court judge. Before his time at the Supreme Court, Marshall fought the Brown v. Board of Education civil rights case. The bill ended racial segregation in public schools, and Marshall continued to ensure the rights of all citizens, regardless of race.

How can we talk about the most influential U.S. lawyers and not talk about Ruth Bader Ginsburg? The trailblazer for women's legal rights, sometimes also called RBG, took part in some groundbreaking decisions. In the case Reed vs. Reed (1971), Ginsberg argued that men shouldn't be favored over women as administrators of estates. The court ruled that "discrimination based on gender is not constitutional when naming the administrator of an estate."

But who are the most prominent lawyers of today? One of them is the human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. She was part of many landmark human rights violation cases. She represented Yazidis against ISIS members and financiers for committing genocide. She was also part of the legal team representing Armenia in the case involving the Armenian genocide. In recent years, she led a Legal Task Force on Accountability for Crimes Committed in Ukraine and is a member of the Working Group on Compensation for Damage Caused to Ukraine.

Another famous contemporary lawyer is David Boies, the attorney who helped the U.S. government successfully prosecute Microsoft. His other cases include Hollingsworth v. Perry, a landmark decision that prohibited the Proposition-8 ban on same-sex marriage in California, and his loss in the Bush v. Gore case. Though, there are some "misfires" in his career, like representing Harvey Weinstein and the failed blood-testing company "Theranos" before their downfall.

Gloria Allred is another American attorney that people might know from her high-profile cases against celebrities. Allred prides herself on being a "feminist lawyer" and a fighter for women's rights. She represented at least 28 women in the case against Bill Cosby, as well as the women who sued Tiger Woods in 2010. Allred also represented Jane Roe (Norma McCorvey) in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
