S'il y a une tache de sang sur la route, comment sait-on si c'est un chien ou un avocat qui a ete renverse?
Facile, si c'est un chien il y a des traces de freinage
hello Alex,
je me régale de l'humour sur les lawyers !
j'y ai été introduit par une vieille connaissance, dans le temps juriste dans la société où je travaillais et maintenant attorney à
Denver
pour rendre ta
joke graphiquement je propose donc :
- soit ce dessin
- soit celui du spécialiste en la matière, la page couverture de :
Dead Lawyers: And Other Pleasant Thoughts
le même auteur qui a l'occasion de la sortie de son dernier ouvrage sur les lawyers :
The Non Sequitur Legal Lampoon
A Biased, Unfair, and Completely Accurate Law Review from Non Sequitur
faisait les déclarations suivantes en 2002

which brings us to lawyers
The second most frequently asked question I've gotten over the years is “What do you have against lawyers?” This usually comes from lawyers who don't like seeing themselves in the cartoons and want me to stop. This, of course, only encourages a smart-ass satirist such as myself to do more of them. And the more they squeal, the easier it is to tell if the material is on target.
But it may surprise many that I don't have anything against lawyers, per se. Like any other profession, most lawyers are decent, hard-working people. These lawyers, however, are not the focus of my cartoons, nor that of society's ire on a whole. Nor should they be. Conducting themselves in an honest, decent manner to service justice is what lawyers are supposed to do. That's the minimum requirement. You shouldn't expect praise for doing the bare minimum of your job.
Besides, decent, hard-working people just aren't funny. They're ordinary, and ordinary isn't very entertaining. Humor and satire are solely dependent on the oddities of the human condition.
Sociopaths on the other hand, are ideal for entertainment and satire as their complete lack of a moral conscience tends to make you stare at them in stunned bewilderment...like a car wreck on the highway. We only notice the bad alwayand their outrageous courtroom behavior instead of the decent ones for the same reason we don't hear anything about the priests who aren't molesting children or the drivers who make it home without getting into a pileup on the highway.
Our legal system is tailor-made for the ethically deficient, as lawyers are given free reign to say and do things that would land the rest of us in jail. Behavior that would bring charges of extortion against you and me is just standard practice in the legal profession. That is what makes my job so much easier.
ceci dit pour info:
aux
Etats Unis : 40 lawyers pour 10 000 habitants soit 1 266 000 (300 000 de plus que de médecins!)
en
France : 9 avocats pour 10 000 habitants soit 60 000
et encore en
France... elle a augmenté de 50 % sur les vingt dernières années...
en tous cas il me semble bien qu'aux
Etats Unis la profession soit la plus ciblée par les caricaturistes
