Famous TV court cases cartoon

lawyers and media at odds

Public jury trials

The scuttlebutt among cartoonists is that the profession that enjoys cartoons most is doctors. It’s certainly true that medical journals (used to) buy the most. Maybe medical professionals are sad, and secretly would rather laugh in surgery, or at their patients.

But I, personally, have always found that it’s attorneys who light up when they find out I’m a cartoonist. I think they appreciate a good turn of phrase.

That doesn’t mean they’ll like this one, of course.

Lawyers, judges & journalists are often at odds, sadly. This makes for riveting famous televised court trials, like the classic and never to be forgotten OJ trials! Or how about attempted impeachments? 🙂

Trials in the media are the bomb and here’s your cartoon for it.

This cartoon reference, although it links journalists to the trial figures, refers to Rodney King’s speech during the LA riots, of course. He said: “People, I just want to say, you know, can we all JUST get along?” (I don’t know, CAN we, Portland??)

He recently passed away, RIP.

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