Hey Lawyers, let us meet in here and discuss the various funny experiences we encounter on a daily basis in court. Abeg let us leave all the wahala and stress associated with the profession and have a good laugh in here.
Let me start!

Some lawyers ehn! This week before a Lagos state high court judge sitting at the commercial division a lady lawyer stood up and the following discussion ensued.

Lawyer girl- most respectfully my lord, I am……appearing for the…my lord, this matter was adjourned for report of service but unfortunately we have been unable to serve the process (the judge interjects)
Judge- Counsel which process were u unable to serve?
Counsel-she frantically searches the file and stupidly says “My lord I am not fully familiar with the facts of the case” .
Judge: “My ruling: suit adjourned till counsel is seized with the facts of the case”
What rubbish, how can a lawyer come to court to report service and say she is not seized with the facts of the case? Why then did u come to court? I wonder what she would go back to tell her boss in the office .

Actually I have witnessed this particular incident in court and when the judge asked for the process the counsel couldn’t serve she went ahead to say after searching her file that she seeks to rely on the court’s record. Imagine!

Here is another one

This one actually happened to a friend of mine though she is now a law guru. She was just recently called to bar and her wig was stll all shiny. You know what I mean . She was asked by her boss to appear in court and move a motion and she practiced hard all night and was determined to pull it through successfully the next day at court . This is what happened.

Judge: hmm new wig!(obviously seeing her new wig) you are welcome to the bar.
Lawyer: thank you my lord. I am… appearing for the…. My lord, we have a motion for… and we are ready to move subject to your lordships convenience.

Defendant’s counsel : my lord, though the Claimant has a motion, we have filed a P.O challenging the court’s jurisdiction.

Lawyer: (she obviously not understanding what that meant went on to say) My lord, I am ready to move my motion.

Judge: Ehn counsel! Are you sure you are still able to move your motion (The judge was saying this considering the fact that the defendant had filed a P.O which is to be taken before her motion but my friend not understanding and in view of the judge earlier calling her a new wig went on to say)
Lawyer: my lord, I can move this motion, I am capable, I have been called to the Nigerian bar as a Barrister and solicitor of the Supreme court blab la bla.

Judge: Registrar give her a date!

A lawyer filed a counter-affidavit to a motion for joinder. Upon discovery that some vital points were omitted went ahead to file another counter-affidavit with the aim of withdrawing the previous one at the hearing of the suit. At the date fixed for hearing, instead of withdrawing the previous counter-affidavit before the interested party moved their motion, she allowed allowed them to move the motion first. In her response to the motion she said thus:

Lawyer: we filed a counter-affidavit dated… and we seek to rely on the averments contained therein. Attached to the counter-affidavit is a written address dated… and we adopt same as our argument in opposition to the Applicant’s application(meanwhile she was adopting the counter-affidavit she planned to withdraw). As the judge was writing she turned around to say. My lord, we seek to withdraw our counter-affidavit dated…(the one she just adopted) and we seek to rely on the one dated…
Judge: Counsel that is not possible! It is too late! U shouldn’t have adopted what you intended to withdraw. I hereby join… as the 2nd Defendant in this suit.
Needless to say, that was her first appearance in court

Cant wait to hear more on monday.

Wonder where all the lawyers are.

Now all have gone underground. Wen we call una CHARGE & BAIL LAWYERS una go begin break english wey no dey dicco. ;

'all what you lawyers do is to complicate matters and uncomplicate it, 'erin brochonvich.

So hard to understand.

Nice ones Uche,

Now that u nid them to show their wigs,u don't see anyone,does it imply that a great majority av not even seen d four walls of a court?

Why am I not surpirsed that most of the gaffes were/are made by female lawyers? Apparently, it takes more to convince a judge than shiny lipstick and glossy nail polish. The paucity of outstanding female advocates/barristers is embarrassing. Their own no pass to dey form company secretary, 'solicitor', legal attache, 'office hand' in blue chip companies' legal departments, executive file-carriers in law chambers, and other such mentally 'comfy' positions. Yeye.

never had any funny episode in court.But if una wan laugh lets change it to police station drama

These are from a book called 'Disorder in the American Courts' and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Uche! Good thread. I always wonder and will soon conclude that we don't have lawyers in Nigeria. Why?

Not one single lawyer has responded to your post with any courtroom stories!

What did they do with all their years at school? It's the same rot that permeates every segment of the society.

I tried to have a lawyer to file a defamation suit against an individual for me, you would not believe the bull crap he was suggesting. Another one was so unprofessional, after i let him know that I am a Mrs., he went ahead to familiarize my name, for example, calling me Kenny instead of Kehinde. I dropped the retard fast.

Or lawyers, don't you visit Nairaland? They are as bad as the so called Doctors who instead of telling the patient, look, an MRI will help us determine why this leg continues to hurt despite the fact that the X-ray showed no fractures" will say "there is nothing showing on the leg, go and (fi see ile too) check with alternative possibilities, prayer, miracle etc"


Sorry Uche, not meaning to derail ur thread, had to vent today

To think it takes AT LEAST 7 to 8 years minimum to become a professional in either of those fields you mentioned, and all that awaits is a paltry salary !

@Ayinba,i beg to differ with your assertion-Nigerian doctors ve stood the test of time and are still striving hard to keep up with their counterpart world over.Do you know that most Nigerian doctor that travels oversea to further their education are usually reffered to as ORACLE because of our ability to arrive at most diagnosis without depending on myriads of investigations.its the society that has not avail them the oppourtunity to reach their potential.We know how international trained doctors fare and what they are calpable of.No Hard feelings.thanks

@uche.interesting thread.wish †̥☺ see more of your posts

Very funny! Lolz!!!!

hehehehehe, too many experiences to recall, but one floats to the top easily.

there was this matter i had, defendant was indebted and refused to file a defence, nor even brief a lawyer. after the judge made me jump throughso many hoops i finally got a date for hearing of my motion for judgment. as usual the defendant had always had a spy in court so he was aware of the date.

on that date i was primed and ready, only for me to hear one scruffy looking female lawyer stand and announce appearance for the defendant. now i had seen her earlier and she even requested to sit beside me only to change her mind. ( i was to discover why later) . i did not know she was for the defendant at the time.

when i decided to go forward with the matter for the day, to my utmost shock this lawyer stood up and started shaking incontrollably. she then informed the judge in the same shaking mode and voice that she was just briefed but she was ill and asked for an adjournment. this is a matter that had been on for over a year.

i was literally stunned, my jaw dropped open!! i was stuttering, this was someone who was beside me and nothing was wrong with her. i pulled myself together and tried to inform the court but u can trust female collabo naw, the female judge granted an adjournment presto and even reprimanded me for being insensitive. the oversmart lawyer miraculously recovered immediately and smiled out of court.

it was a new and strange tactic to me, u could imagine my shock. what was worse was that i didnt know how to explain the event to my colleagues and the client with all my years, i felt belittled

@Wallie, now that was really funny!!!

Nice.

I heard this in court the other day - "My Lord, we discovered that our Originating Processes are incompetent and there is a need to REMEDIFY same." LWTMB!

The funniest jokes I have heard in my life, lol.
Thanks man,

@4llerbuntu
That was very bad of that lawyer but funny nevertheless. Anyway, she has gotten away with that so let’s see the gimmick she would attempt next time.
Yemipretty
Na real remedify, he should go ahead and indemnify it too. Pscheww.
Ok, here goes another.
Why do some lawyers have a default “we have not been served” at the tip of their tongue?
A defendant counsel while addressing the court informed the judge that he was served with the motion of the claimant and needs time to file his counter-affidavit to same. The judge asked the Claimant’s counsel if that was the true position and he quickly being so absent minded (wonder what he was thinking of) just uttered “My lord we have not been served with the motion). The judge was shocked and had to ask if he expects to be served with the motion he filed. He quickly apologized to the judge that he was carried away. See tongue lashing eh!

Some clients are way too difficult.

In a Lagos state high court, there was this very stern looking litigant who I am very sure was a school principal back in the days . She didn’t even send anybody at all neither was she deterred about the so called sanctity of the court room .

The judge had lots of cases and she being tired of sitting down and listening to proceedings, just walked straight to her lawyer who was at the bar and told him “Don’t you have work to do today? You are just sitting down here since morning instead of you to stand up and speak like a lawyer”. After saying that, she quickly stormed back to her seat and sat down. Surprisingly, the judge being very calm ignored her(boy! was she lucky) I cannot count how many judges would have dealt with her.

This lady was not done oh. When her case was finally called, she went and stood very close to her lawyer and watched him speak and do all them lawyer thingy. When the time came for the lawyer to take a date for adjournment, she just shouted “take an October date oh” but unluckily for her no October date was convenient and the case was adjourned till November. She then shouted at her lawyer (all in Yoruba oh) you want to sleep in court abi, is this your only case etc. she then walked out of the court angrily!
