Lawyer Objects To "Large Breasted Woman" In Courtroom
Outstanding!


snip


A lawsuit against an Illinois car dealership took a strange turn recently, when the defendant's lawyer complained about a "large breasted woman" in the courtroom.
The motion below is making the rounds of Chicago-area law listservs. It considers a suit before the First Municipal District Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois

3. Frankly, my opinion is that in any case involving an argument over a used car warranty,
the court should be obligated to provide a large-breasted woman or two, and a couple of hunky guys, for the jury to look at. Expecting people to pay attention to that snore-fest without distraction would be cruel...

7. Some things don't change
There is an old legal truisim, I'm sure some legal scholar will provide attribution if we ask nice.

" If the law is with you, argue the law. If the facts are with you, argue the facts. If niether of them are with you, argue with the other lawyer!"
