A MOST UNUSUAL DEFENCE
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense:
"My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb."
"Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant’s arm to one year’s imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."
The defendant smiled. With his lawyer’s assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
Its me again. Please leave a comment of any new humors or a link to funny lawyer sites.

Mesothelioma Lawyer: Getting Whats Best For You
There are several important issues to consider while choosing a Mesothelioma lawyer
The first and most important qualification to look for in your mesothelioma lawyer is experience. You need a tough Mesothelioma lawyer that is accomplished at pushing forth, convincing arguments through the judicial system so that you can be adequately represented and compensated. It might be a good idea to check how many cases this Mesothelioma lawyer has recently handled and what were the outcomes of these cases.
Next important thing is to get a feel of the lawyer’s ability to understand, empathize and recount your story. Mesothelioma lawyers have to be very convincing in proving to the courts beyond a shadow of doubt that your work related asbestos exposure is responsible for your physical, mental and financial plight.
You will need to provide your Mesothelioma lawyer with all the facts such as employee records that will show the evidence of your asbestos exposure, scientific and medical evidence of your cancer diagnosis (such as x-rays and pathology reports) to substantiate your case.
Another very important consideration is the cost. Remember, costs are not necessarily a yardstick of quality. My suggestion is to carefully balance the experience of the Mesothelioma lawyer with the affordability of the fees. If costs are an issue, you should be some additional ways to save. You could ask for a junior mesothelioma lawyer or paralegal for the basic and routine tasks, or you might even consider doing some of the work and researches yourself.
Ask your lawyer to outline of the whole process of how the case will roll out. You need to understand clearly on what will be your role and responsibilities in the legal process. You should be completely focused on your purpose of retribution. Some mesothelioma lawyers also work on a contingent fee basis on what they receive a part of the compensation as the fee and do not charge any fee if you do not win your case.
