We had a doggone blast perusing more than 200 entries for this month’s cat-and-canine-themed cartoon caption contest. But we need your help to determine the winner. The caption that gets the most votes will appear in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

Vote in the cartoon poll for one of the captions listed below:

• “Lady Justice. You spend your whole life chasing her—only to discover she is a different species entirely.” —Submitted by Charles E. Rust of Cincinnati

• “Have you heard they’re banning laser pointers in the courtroom?” —Submitted by Jeffrey J. Upton of Milton, Massachusetts

• “Given that they have nine lives, we may have to rethink this lifetime appointment thing.” —Submitted by Thomas W. Funk of Lincoln, Illinois

How to vote: Using our poll, select the caption you think best fits the scene depicted in the cartoon.

Voting period: The poll closes at 11:59 p.m. CT on Monday, May 28.

What’s the prize? Bragging rights. Plus, the winning caption and credit to the caption writer will appear in an upcoming issue of the ABA Journal.
