LITIGATION

A judge in a semi-small city was hearing a drunk-driving case and the
defendant, who had both a record and a reputation for driving under the
influence, demanded a jury trial. It was nearly 4 p.m. and getting a
jury would take time, so the judge called a recess and went out in the
hall looking to impanel anyone available for jury duty. He found a dozen
lawyers in the main lobby and told them that they were a jury.

The lawyers thought this would be a novel experience and so followed the
judge back to the courtroom. The trial was over in about 10 minutes and
it was very clear that the defendant was guilty. The jury went into the
jury-room, the judge started getting ready to go home, and everyone
waited.

After nearly three hours, the judge was totally out of patience and sent
the bailiff into the jury-room to see what was holding up the verdict. 

When the bailiff returned, the judge said, "Well, have they got a
verdict yet?"

The bailiff shook his head and said, "Verdict? They're still doing
nominating speeches for the foreman's position!"
