View submission: Legal professionals of Reddit: What’s the funniest way you’ve ever seen a lawyer or defendant blow a court case?

"Admit that you you did such and such!"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Damn! That was my whole argument."

Depositions are hilarious when the lawyer is un-prepared and hired off of a late night TV ad. I had to deal with a lawsuit from a dude that fell down in our parking lot in the middle of a snow storm. His argument was that we didn't clear the area around his car. Our response was "it's winter." That was the entire depo. It never went to court and there was no settlement. We didn't even try to negotiate. His lawyer, I suppose, told him that he should learn to watch his step. We never heard from him again. I imagine he had to pay up for all the lawyering. Slip and fall guys are irritating.
