Chief Justice Rehnquist

To prove that truth is funnier than fiction, we offer these remarks made by the late Chief Justice, William Rehnquist while making an address at the University of Virginia …

"In the past, when I've talked to audiences like this, I've often started off with a lawyer joke, a complete caricature of a lawyer who's been nasty, greedy and unethical. But I've stopped that practice. I gradually realized that the lawyers in the audience didn't think the jokes were funny and the non-lawyers didn't know they were jokes."
