Clown in Court

Poll: Which clowning around caption fits best?

It’s your turn to pick the caption you think should appear with this month’s legal-themed cartoon.

  • 34.49%
    "Sorry for the delay, your honor. My client's 17 co-defendants are getting out of their car right now."
  • 60.76%
    "Now which one of you is the attorney?"
  • 4.75%
    "It's one thing to dress like Bozo, but it's another thing to act like one."

No clowning around: The ABA Journal staffers had a hard time picking three favorites from more than 200 submissions.

Now it’s your turn to pick the caption that you think fits best. Simply vote in the cartoon poll for one of these captions before Dec. 29:

• “Sorry for the delay, your honor. My client’s 17 co-defendants are getting out of their car right now.”—submitted by Jennie Capellaro of Madison, Wisconsin

• “Now which one of you is the attorney?”—submitted by Robert C. Goodman Jr. of Norfolk, Virginia

• “It’s one thing to dress like Bozo, but it’s another thing to act like one.”—submitted by Pat Foley of Homer Glen, Illinois

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

Voting period: Votes must be cast by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 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.
