Lawyers

Well, folks, it seems there's a new Bonnie and Clyde in town. Except they're wealthy gun-wielding lawyers who epitomize froth-mouthed Karens. The couple in question (they're being called Ken and Karen) was filmed threatening Black Lives Matter protesters outside their lavish home in St. Louis, Missouri.

The personal injury lawyers, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, claim they were told that the "angry mob" would kill them and their dog, and destroy their property. The protesters, who were keeping to the streets, have said that's ridiculous. And St. Louis University lawyer John Amman says their actions could be classified as assault as the demonstrators did nothing to threaten the angry couple. We're eagerly awaiting to see how this unfolds, but in the meantime there are tons of memes being made about this wannabe Mr. and Mrs. Smith. So we'll leave ya to 'em.

It's pretty damn easy to make fun of lawyers, but we think they'd like these memes too!

Aspiring lawyer Kim Kardashian opened herself up to some savage trolling today when contacting Jack In The Box regarding injustice she allegedly witnessed at one of the fast food chain's locations. The tweet reads "Hey, Jack In The Box I have a serious complaint but I won't fully put you on blast, check your corporate email inbox or send me a DM with direct person for my team to contact. Pronto!" and had Twitter users wondering what the hell happened to make Kanye's wife so upset. 

Kardashian was quick to offer a disclaimer: "I would like to add that this is not about me or a wrong order. Nobody recognized me and it's something that I observed that affected other customers at this particular location that was concerning." Judging by this tweet, Kim's charitable nature extends beyond prison reform. Unfortunately, this didn't stop memers from roasting the crap out of the "self-made" celebrity. And by golly, the tweets were good. Now all we need to know is the tea behind this tweet. Fingers crossed it comes out sooner rather than later. 

The criminal case against Paul Manafort got a lot more (publicly) interesting yesterday after it became known that he shared polling data with Russian associate Konstantin Kilimnik. This very juicy information is almost rivaled by how the intel was obtained - via a terrible and arguably hilarious fail on the part of Manafort's lawyers. 

It would seem that these attorneys skipped their redacting class. Instead of, you know, using the redact tool on Photoshop, Manafort's brilliant team just placed black boxes over the text. This allows anyone who knows how to copy and post to reveal the information. As can be expected, the blunder was received with a gigantic collective facepalm from people on Twitter. We're just happy for the laughs, and for the Photoshop lesson. 

Make way for #SweatPantsGate, the latest scandal to grace the internet. It all started when Kevin Gu, a Harvard law student, recently interviewed for a position at Edelson P.C., a prestigious law firm based in Chicago. 

The trouble started when Gu emailed the firm with the intention of scheduling a follow-up interview. Instead, he received a reply from a staff member at the firm stating, "At this point, I think bringing you in for a callback interview would be a waste of your time, and ours." 

Gu posted his exchange with the firm online and it quickly blew up and sparked a plethora of reactions. The story was subsequently picked up by Above the Law, a news source devoted to reporting the happenings in the legal field, which then gained the attention of Jay Edelson, the firm's founder and CEO. 

Edelson quickly wrote up a response to the story, explaining the firm's decision to reject Gu from the position. He stated that Gu had interviewed with Edelson several times before in on-campus interviews (OCI) as a law student; in the first interview he apparently showed up late wearing sweatpants, and late again to the second interview. 

The icing on the cake in Edelson's response, however, was the very last line, which read, "I have more to say, but the cat videos are calling." Many have since accused Edelson of trying way too hard to relate to the kids.

Gu then replied to Edelson's message in attempt to set the record straight, stating that he has always worn "100% wool slacks" - not sweatpants - to interviews with Edelson P.C.

The ordeal has of course lead to many different reactions and opinions on the matter, all of which can be expressed in the memes below.

The legal side of Reddit recently took on some of Disney's evilest villains as clients, and came up with pretty solid defenses for the lot of them:
