In my head, all lawyers sound like Jackie Chiles

[Happy_Lendervedder]

For years, whenever I’ve read a news story that includes quotes from a lawyer, I always read the lawyer’s words in the style of Jackie Chiles from Seinfeld-- who was a characature of the late Johnnie Cochran.

I think I finally found a lawyer who uses the same thesaurus as Jackie.

From here:

As far as our clients are concerned, as far as the Woods family is concerned, Southwest murdered their child – and those are their exact words…Eighteen seconds for the thrust reversers to be deployed? The aircraft should have avoided this landing. This is an eternity, and they did nothing. It’s egregious and gross negligence…Thirty percent of this runway elapsed before this plane touched down. It should have went around, and the fact that there was a tailwind, only exacerbated the situation. They had every reason to divert, but they didn’t.

Try doing the Jackie Chiles thing; it really makes reading news stories much more interesting.

All lawyers sound like Jackie Chiles?!? I find your characterization salacious, egregious, outrageous, fallacious and bodacious!
