I have a joke (or six) about ….prerogative writs…… for this lazy end of July 2020 weekend

Posted on July 26, 2020 by Anita Szigeti

An oeuvre about the prerogative writs and law jokes actually:

I have a habeas corpus joke but they won’t bring any body to court to hear it.

I have a joke about extraordinary remedies but it’s in Latin.

I have a joke about mandamus but you’ll have to make me tell it.

I have a joke about certiorari but I pronounce it “appeal.”

I have a joke about prohibition but I’m not allowed to tell it.

I have a joke about quo warranto but I don’t know what it means.
