Majority of lawyers effectively use humour in their litigation
practice.The law and the practice of law are rife with humour. And we
all can use
humour to break the tensions, to create rapport and simply to maintain
our sanity.If there are people who are funny - then these are lawyers.In brightly lit courtrooms, attorneys trying to
incorporate humor into
their cases fumble over their words about as often as they fumble
through papers. If that fumble costs an attorney his or her credibility,
then the loss is potentially substantial.
Humor in the courtroom is difficult to navigate.Lawyers know it is a
problem when courtroom humor fails, but there is often still the
inclination to try and sometimes an inability to prevent it.
Humor effectively provides sudden relief from tense situations.
By all
accounts, trials are tense.
People laugh or find amusement when removed
from these tense circumstances and may appreciate the one who removes
them.In advocacy, it is important that the trier of fact trust, maybe
even like, the advocate. The proper release from tension goes a long way
for both the advocate and the trier of fact.
