Aug 27, 2015 · So, if you want to eat healthier, limit white flour foods like white bread and pasta (try the whole grain wheat versions instead). Avoid products that conceal a sneaky amount of sugar, like packaged sauces, frozen meals, and instant foods. Obviously lots of cookies, soda and caffeine isn’t the best for anyone either.
A lawyer who just loves to eat. Kricket, London: This modern Indian is pushing all the boundaries. It’s been a while since I have written about an Indian restaurant.

Oct 18, 2021 · 8 – In Flames and Inflamed …. A man was sent to hell for his sins. As he was being led into the pits for an eternity of torment, he saw a lawyer passionately kissing a beautiful woman. “What a joke!” he said. “I have to roast in flames for all eternity and that lawyer gets to spend it with that beautiful woman.”.
An attorney was working late one night in his office when, suddenly, Satan appeared before him. The Devil made him an offer. “I will make it so you win every case that you try for the rest of your life. Your clients will worship you, your colleagues will be in awe, and you will make enormous amounts of money. But, in return, you must give me your soul, your wife’s soul, the souls of your children, your parents, grandparents, and those of all the your friends.” The lawyer thought about it for a moment, then asked, “But what’s the catch?”
The Hindu says, “I’m humble, I’ll sleep in the barn.”.
You had to know that no judge was was going to be happy that a litigant appearing in their court was getting internet-famous for the insults he hurled at opposing counsel.
Now that we’ve got that fun refresher done, we can focus on the latest development. Yesterday there was a hearing in the case, and U.S. District Judge Otis Wright II of the Central District of California told Hook bluntly, “You just trashed your profession.” He went on to demand Hook resign from the profession, as reported by Law.com:
This Deputy General Counsel will assist the General Counsel on all legal matters pertaining to running a professional services business and oversee external counsel. Position…
Generally, when opposing counsel tells you to “eat a bowl of dicks,” you know that your settlement talks are going nowhere fast. When opposing counsel later informs you that he’s going to “let the long dick of the law f*ck [your client],” then you know that something may be amiss.

A doctor and a lawyer in two cars collided on a country road. The lawyer, seeing that the doctor was a little shaken up, helped him from the car and offered him a drink from his hip flask. The doctor accepted and handed the flask back to the lawyer, who closed it and put it away.
The farmer says that there are only 2 extra beds, and one person will have to sleep in the barn. The Hindu says, “I’m humble, I’ll sleep in the barn,” so he goes out to the barn. In a few minutes, the farmer hears a knock on the door.
On every episode of The Good Wife or How to Get Away With Murder , a client hires a lawyer in the morning and then everyone seems to be in court by the afternoon. Unfortunately, in real life, court cases take months, if not years to complete, especially if you are dealing with the federal court system.
Anyone who's had jury duty knows that trials are usually tedious and plodding. Believe me, lawyers know this too, but most of us can't control the urge to talk a lot — using really big words — even when we're awful public speakers. The people that suffer the most are court staff (and I should know, I used to be a court clerk).
The kind of witness questioning you see in the movies and on TV is — and I know this will be a shocker — are much more dramatic than real life. Both witness and lawyers prepare extensively for trials, and maybe once in a blue moon does a witness say something so surprising it changes or ruins the entire case (though I have seen that happen. Once).
Seriously. There is a reason most trials are boring, and it’s because all lawyers are taught to do in law school is read and then write about the things we read.
Yes, many bright-eyed, bushy-tailed young people embark on law school with a dream of making the world a better place, but often, after law school, comes the crushing reality of rent and those extra crushing student loan payments. Some of us have to get jobs that simply pay more money.
Seriously, life as a lawyer is broken down into six minute increments (tenths of an hour) and we have to keep track of all of them. We bill for when we talk about clients, every time we send an email or get one — heck, some (extremely unethical) lawyers bill for thinking about cases.
It's true that there are lots of opportunistic hacks out there, the ones that are in it just for the paycheck. But although some of us work for the money, it doesn't mean we don't care deeply about our professional ethics, clients, and that everyone gets the treatment in court they deserve.
In the modern era, many complaints about lawyers fall into five general categories: 1 abuse of litigation in various ways, including using dilatory tactics and false evidence and making frivolous arguments to the courts 2 preparation of false documentation, such as false deeds, contracts, or wills 3 deceiving clients and other persons and misappropriating property 4 procrastination in dealings with clients 5 charging excessive fees
Lawyers giving a talk, especially to the profession, often employ jokes as icebreakers. St. Ives is the patron saint of lawyers. In some jokes, he is the only lawyer in heaven, and can't be made to leave, since there is no other lawyer in heaven.
