When an innocent man is condemned, who is to blame? The prosecution? The Bench? Or the lawyers? Or all? Do they ever have to pay?
Unquotable quotes: Lawyers - XX
[Have you ever read lines which go somewhat like this: "Lawyers are liars/Who smoke cigars without a fire/Who ride bicycles without tires...Well, you have now!]
(No aspersions are wilfully or otherwise cast on the honorable profession of the Law. Though I’m not a Barrister - I wish I had the sense to bribe the clerk in charge of the Pass List, I passed – through self-study – all the subjects at the Bar Examinations set by the Inns of Court School of Law, London, by 1956. And my knowledge of the practice of the law is derived from being compelled as a litigant nearly all my adult life.)
“The Law is an Ass” for lawyers often squat on the Ass.
“Only a fool goes to court without a lawyer”, yet only a nincompoop/dumbkopf/retardé mental will go to court – period!
When lawyers get together, they talk Culture, the commodity they most wish they could own.
Whenever you are in the presence of an unsuccessful lawyer, be truly aware you’re in the presence of the next President of the Republic.
The first time you walk into a lawyer’s chambers as a client, you’ll be convinced there’s such a thing as Divine Justice. Then on, you’ll walk the plank without being pushed.
Notice how when lawyers go on strike, the breast of the Lady with the Balance of Justice heaves more freely and gently.
Never ever lend an ear to the suggestion that lawyers all should be put on the government’s payroll: this is worse than downright blasphemy.
If you have plenty of money (including Bitcoins) and you don’t know what to do with it, then go see a lawyer – he’ll help you be free of it.
Remember, from the very moment you walk into a lawyer’s chambers, you put yourself at his service twenty-four hours a day preparing your case – for him or her.
Always remember when you go to see a lawyer with your case: you want to put an end to a life-threatening nuisance; lawyers don’t ever want that to stop/end.
When a lawyer tells you to do something, always make certain you already DID it.*
Marry a lawyer and you’ll most certainly make an appearance in the dock to be grilled for something you had not done.
Always choose a lawyer of the opposite sex in your divorce case: (s)he’ll aid and abet you in your wrong-doing for the purpose of first-hand evidence.
Don’t forget that the time you spend in a lawyer’s office is 90% used up with personal calls under the guise of in-coming calls from other clients, but you foot the bill for all.
The more famous a lawyer is, the more schooled is he in the art of losing cases with oratory and panache.
Do not wonder why the crucial documents you gather at great expense for your defence - at the request of lawyers – somehow never get mentioned or produced during a trial or hearing.
A lawyer who takes on more than he can chew always turns up late for the hearing/audience/trial – only to ask for a postponement.
Some lawyers oddly enough forget on whose side they are pleading their case – much to their own surprise when the judgment is handed down.
Don’t ever forget that the lawyers’ own disciplinary boards are elected by their own ilk.
Lawyers don’t marry lawyers for fear that the divorce case might last longer than the marriage.
Is the solicitor (in England) a tout between the barrister and the client?
Lawyers are never guilty of negligence or ignorance even if their clients are obliged to appeal the lower court judgment.
How many crimes get to be committed in the actual deliberations and formulations of procedures in cases? Has anyone made a count?
How many the billions who simply let torts, crimes and misdemeanours submerge them – day in and day out – without respite?
Everybody knows the bigger the name, the bigger the lawyer’s fees. The more money you have, the better your chances of getting off the hook.
When an innocent man is condemned, who is to blame? The prosecution? The Bench? Or the lawyers? Or all? Do they ever have to pay for their "crimes"?
Legal aid is another form of grudged hate.

Bonjour Monseigneur Don Ron ! Yes, not necessarily so...but almost each line is fashioned through the "biais" of tropes and schemes which makes it literary in scope falling in the "gray zone" of poetry, but then one cannot legitimately call it an article or story either. N'est-ce pas, Ron?
What's important is that your own experiences concurr with what I have to say about lawyers and the courts. The well-educated and financially secure classes can cope with the situation, but just think of the masses who have neither: they just go through life all over the world dumbfounded. It's a shame fearing to raise one's own voice in defence.

Not necessarily a poem, but a great list of what to watch out for if one uses a lawyer.
When I think back on it, I've always won when I brought a case to court without a lawyer. Three times, at least.
When a major case done on my behalf by incompetent lawyers charging me considerably for my deposition, screwed up by filing wrongly, the wrong charge in the wrong (federal) court. The female judge threw the case out. I wrote a long letter to the judge after, but she did not respond.
The graduate only university that fired me, failed financially three years later and had to merge with an undergraduate school that was still financially solvent.
My divorce cost me $200 because it wasn't contested. Unfortunately, my lawyer who was a friend screwed up the decree, claiming what was mine was mine and what was hers was mine. He had to go back to the court to correct it, and got his fingers struck like a Catholic child by the judge.
A raw in your face story of teenage love, lust, murder, and revenge set in the Bronx in the early seventies, where the cold business world of organize crime melds with the brutality of street gang warlords that ignites a winner takes all battle for u
