So we aren't going to law school for the jargon? And Tim Whatley didn't convert to Judaism for the jokes either, right?

I'll post my Constitution argument on my blog, I don't want to put such a long comment on P-Man's.

what is that, sam? fundamental right to hair privacy? freedom of hair expression? freedom of hair association (or lack thereof)? i wasn't aware of those rights.

Sam:

I see nothing in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requiring hair combing, and any such rule would violate my First, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

there ya go sam. that did the trick. LOL, sam in the courtroom... hooooo-weeee. :) he'd have to comb his hair on a daily basis.

ej:

so what kind of lawyer you gonna be, sam? i can picture you in the courtroom....hum.

Sam:

Concerning the use of commas, most legal writers, in my opinion, overuse commas, but, at least most of the time, the more esteemed writers, by this I mean Holmes, Cardozo, Posner and the like, aptly, even if awkwardly, make proper, though stylistically excessive, use of, as aforementioned, commas.

dear lord. that was a whole lot of legal bullshit. you've got some serious talent there. i thought you could have used more commas, though.

very nice, sam - you can try to sound all smart but i think it's all really a front.

MostStupidHaterAlive:

I am sorry what? Could you repeat that as I am a little deaf in this eye.

Sam:

EJ: My fellow classmates notwithstanding, I feel that your comment presupposes certain fallacy about the legal profession that I will dispute herein. The aforementioned use of the purported jargon is not, as you seemingly assume, used ostensibly for the purposes of sounding intelligent as a part of a chicanerious ruse to perpetuate a fraud on the non-legal community. Though this is not true <i>in toto</i>, the bulk of said jargon is used in an attempt to avoid the arduous task of appropriating non-legal terms in such a manner as to bestow, with some degree of precision, a specific legal meaning. One may thus forthwith make one’s point clear via the use apropos terms of art and the definite legal meaning therein.

p-man:

DUDE, cherz, i have no idea what you just said. DUDE, ...or something. definitely not intelligent.

Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally. In closing... deep breath my lips hurt real bad.
