Hey Gunners: No One Thinks Your Big Words Make You Sound Smart

July 1, 2019 by Bitter Professor 1 Comment

Back to school time means back to That Gunner Guy or That Gunner Girl dominating every class discussion by using completely unnecessary Latin terms. If you are particularly unlucky, this year That Gunner will have decided to use something like nihil peti potest ante id tempus, quo per rerum naturam persolvi posit because they are…

What Should You Call Your Lawyer Rock Band?

June 29, 2019 by Andrew Cabasso Leave a Comment

Last week, our lawyer-rock band was playing at a local bar. Typical classic rock cover band, but we’re all lawyers and the band name has a clever lawyer-related pun. Anyway, we’re playing our set, and then as soon as our set is over, some record label bigwig offers us a major deal. We’d finally made…

5 MOAR Ridiculous Law Firm Commercials

May 13, 2019 by Bitter Staff 2 Comments

Inspired by the flaming sledgehammer of legal advertising, Casino Law, we thought it was time for another installment of ridiculous law firm commercials. 1.  Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman have actually already won this category in the past with their “Machete” commercial. But, their other commercial is a close second: 2. Florida-based Nation Law Firm decided they…

The Secret To Success? Pretending You Work Much More Than You Do

July 2, 2018 by Bitter Lawyer Leave a Comment

All through law school, law students live in this fantasy world that is half-nightmare, half-dream. You know the one. It’s the one where you pull 80-hour weeks for six years running until the gods descend from Mount Olympus and bestow a partnership on you. We’re all pretty sure that we can tough out those 80-hour…

And Still More Ridiculous Lawyer Commercials

June 10, 2018 by Bitter Staff 1 Comment

See, you totally love these stupid lawyer commercials. It’s okay we do too. It’s a labor of love. 1. If what you require of your lawyer is that they are able to make a pack of wild dogs sit, these guys have you covered. In other dog related lawyer news, we don’t know why this…

The Most Ridiculous Lawyer Billboards

June 21, 2017 by Bitter Lawyer 1 Comment

Now, we’re not talking about those ones where a dude glowers over the freeway dressed in a $150 suit with a dark dress shirt like he’s Regis Philbin circa 1998. Those things are a dime a dozen. These billboards go the extra mile (Pun totally intended. Sue us.) to make lawyers look absurd. 1. The Super…
