As previously reported, two guys were arrested outside a Long Island courthouse, allegedly for creating a public disturbance. The pair say that all they were doing was telling lawyer jokes, and that an angry lawyer ahead of them in line reported them to court officers, who arrested the men.
It seems that the charges have been dismissed (interestingly, the men, founders of Americans for Legal Reform, a group that "uses confrontational tactics to urge greater public access to the courts," that including standing "outside courthouses on Long Island and mock[ing] lawyers . . . ." themselves hired a lawyer). The grand jury voted to dismiss the charges against one of the men, and the other had already had his charges dimissed after being given immunity in exchange for his grand jury testimony.
I'm happy to see that I can safely go back to making fun of my colleagues.
