How an attorney could bribe a judge.

defense tries to use bailiff to bribe judge with flowers

Remember Night Court?  I learned everything you need to know about the courtroom through that show! I saw it in syndication and it had excellent characters that I can still remember!

When I went to court myself recently, twice, I didn’t see any bailiffs like the big guy in that series.. This is when I was EVICTED by Steven Taylor, after 19 years in my home. But I remember the tall one on that old sitcom…he was pretty funny.

The bouquet of flowers is because nobody trusts defense attorneys. They are usually either defending criminals, or…well, that’s usually what they seem to do. Sometimes they represent innocent people, too – because everyone deserves representation and a fair shake. But that usually seems to happen in movies, not in real life. (Although we were innocent when we were evicted…LA is a corrupt city for renters.)

The phrase “Just because” is something women may recognize, because they send most cards…wasn’t it Hallmark who started that jingle? Send a Hallmark card…just because.

Here’s how to buy this or any law cartoon for powerpoint, law journals, newsletters, books, etc.
