Trial Lawyers Need To Lighten Up a Little
What do you think of this cartoon, by cartoonist Jim Herrick, which appeared in last month's Kentucky Bar Association magazine -- and is now the subject of significant controversy?
We chuckled over the cartoon (although we didn't quite guffaw). We don't find it offensive in the least, and we think it was perfectly fine for the Kentucky Bar Assocation to run it.
But considering that we find almost nothing offensive, we may not be the best people to ask. What are your thoughts?
Trial lawyers find nothing funny in cartoon [Louisville Courier-Journal]

The article says that the best argument for the complaining lawyers was that the KBA requires the lawyers to join and pay dues, and published this in their official publication.
I find ATL mostly amusing, but if I were forced to pay for it somehow, I'd probably be offended.
Might I suggest the following caption instead:
"I guess he went to Loyola"
HA!
I missed L2L over the long weekend ...

This is the future of us unemployed tier 2 grads.
More than "not funny," I'd say "not clever." As far as lawyer jokes go, it's unoriginal.
It seems to me that this cartoon actually says a lot if a person just knows very much at all. I find many interesting aspects to it. In fact, I know an attorney that might think it is funny, they do the right things and they get sued, they do the wrong things and they get sued. Yet, noone else seems to hold any responsibility. So how do our attorneys win?
