To confuse the layman, lawyers have a language of their own, they speak in Latin and confound you with their habeas corpus and corpus delicti , writ of caveat , prima facie and such mumbo jumbo, *hisses*, why can't they speak English alone? of course, they must impress us with their learning, for lawyers are learned people,*yimu*, that's why in court we keep hearing, 'The learned counsel on the other side.....'

But speaking Latin is not enough for them, they must change your identity, you stop being Mr.X and turn to 'the plaintiff' or 'the defendant'. In a divorce case, your title changes, you are now known as 'the petitioner' or 'the respondent', while the woman is given a sweet euphemistic feminine name, she is known as 'the woman cited' , and not the home-breaker.

The law also claims not to take anything for granted as every one is innocent until proven otherwise, but this can be funny at times, for example, a man has been requested to give evidence in a certain case, he may be the owner of GLOBACOM, everybody knows him, but the law sets out with an open mind, 'this man is unknown to us even though we asked him to come here' . so the first thing they ask is, 'state your name and address', the next question is, 'what is your occupation?' , am sure even if it was the chief justice of the supreme court to give evidence, he would be asked his occupation.
another case of the law not taking anything for granted: A man falls off a palm tree and dies, atleast 12 people saw him fall, but is the law satisfied? hell no!! in law, seeing is not necessarily believing, so an autopsy and post-mortem is arranged to know the cause of his death. *shaking my head*

all in all, pleasurable time can be spent sitting in the court and listening to cases (I USED TO DO THIS BEFORE ), take this example, a woman wanted to divorce her husband, when it was the husband's turn to talk, he really downgraded himself kneeling and begging the woman not to leave him. the magistrate suspended the proceedings and the three of them went into his chambers, when they came out I expected to hear that they had settled, but drama was about to unfold.

MAGISTRATE: mr ojo, your wife still insists on leaving you

MR OJO: let her leave! she eats like a horse, good riddance

WIFE: me horse?! when you can't feed a cockroach?!

the whole court burst into laughter, the clerk ordered silence, and the magistrate granted the divorce, so all in all! THE LAW SUCKS!

this is just my opinion as am not a law expert

There is a mango tree next door to where I live, this tree overhangs into my fence, every morning,I have to sweep the dead leaves of the tree from the mango tree. now, this mango has about 15 of its fruits overhanging into my premises.I love mangoes, and if I have to sweep up the dead leaves surely I am entitled to some compensation for my trouble right? suppose one day, I decide to pluck off some of the fruit and eat, afterall, I didn't go to my neighbours house, I found it over my fence in my yard, what would 'THE LAW' say about it??
The law would say I coveted another man's property to mine, which is roundabout way of saying I am a thief , even though the mangoes overhang my premises, they do not belong to me.

Then I say to the law,"has a tree that does not belong to me have right to litter my premises?" and the law replies,'that is a different matter, the law allows you to cut the overhanging branch because every owner of a premises also owns the air or space above him.if your neighbours branch overhangs your premises, that is an infringement of your space.'
All these is puzzling me, so I ask the law 'if I cut down the offending branch the fruits will be lying on the ground and will rot if I don't eat them' and the law replies 'yes, you may cut the branch because it a nuisance but you must not eat them because it is your neighbours tree that bore the fruits'
so can you see?! THE LAW AT IT SILLIEST!!!

I came across this law while reading a book interpreting the laws for the layman-me and you. , and after reading that book, I felt the law was the most complicated thing one could ever get into.
for example, your neighbours builds his house in such a way that part of the roof overhangs your premises, remember the law say you own the space above you that is why you can cut the tree branch, in this case the law also allows you to cut the offending part of the roof, but here is the prob, it is difficult to cut down an aluminium roof without making a noise,while doing this your neighbour can take you to court for disturbing his peace, so you make your point but you get into trouble while making it.

I used to wonder why the law was like this, but now I know. The law has to be incomprehensible for the layman, otherwise everybody would become his own lawyer and that would spell doom to the legal profession and the exorbitant fees it demands.

The law was made such that only a lawyercould understand it, take the paperwork for example. it's incredible the number of things you have to file, the number of affidavits you have to swear to, the number of motions you have to make, *sighs* , even some lawyers don't know the importance of all that paperwork. a good case can be lost all because the paperwork is defective.
