For Those Who Can’t Understand The Worldcom Case. This is put in the simplest form so that every one can understand.
An old country farmer with serious financial problems bought a mule from another old farmer for $100, who agreed to deliver the mule the next day. However, the next day he drove up and said, “Sorry, but I have some bad news: The mule died.”
“Well, then, just give me my money back.”
Can’t do that. I went and spent it already."
“OK, then. Just unload the mule.”
“What ya gonna do with a dead mule?”
“I’m going to raffle him off.”
“You can’t raffle off a dead mule!”
“Sure I can. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later the two met up and the farmer who
sold the mule asked,
“Whatever happened with that dead mule?”
“I raffled him off just like I said I would. I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a net profit of
$898.”
“Didn’t anyone complain?”
“Just the Lawyer who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.”
How is a lawyer different from a hooker? A hooker stops screwing you once you're dead.
How is a lawyer different from road kill? Nobody wants to hit road kill with their car.
A priest, a doctor, and a lawyer were waiting one morning on a particularly slow group of golfers.
“What’s wrong with these guys?” fumed the lawyer. “We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!”
“I don’t know,” said the doctor, “but I’ve never seen such ineptitude!”
“Here comes the greenskeeper,” said the priest. “Let’s have a word with him. Say, George, what’s with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow. aren’t they?”
“Oh, yes,” said George, "That’s the group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight while saving our club last year. We let them play here anytime free of charge!"
Everyone was silent for a moment. Then the priest said, “That’s so sad, I think I’ll say a prayer for them tonight.”
“And I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there is anything he can do for them,” the doctor added.
“Why can’t these guys play at night?” asked the lawyer.
Oh I know a zillion of these, but this one is my absolute favorite:
What do you call a group of lawyers, skydiving?

I had to reach way back to find this thread - unacceptable! there are a LOT more lawyer jokes out there!
Another version of the road kill joke:
What’s the difference between a dead dog in the road, and a dead lawyer in the road?
(of course) skid marks in front of the dog.
The following quotations are not lawyer jokes per se, but close enough. Be sure to read to the end, the last one is especially good.
