The "No Pants Dance" is not a part of standard legal practice
Inmate's girlfriend poses as lawyer to get into jail to have sex with boyfriend.  The gig is foiled when jail calls firm to tell them that one of their lawyers was caught having sex in visiting room.  The real lawyer was on maternity leave.

Typical day in court
Every day criminal defense attorneys go to court and face people who would like nothing better than to put their clients in prison for a long time.  Prosecutors are often present as well.  Here is an example from the appellate courts.

Oh hear me Winston-Salem
The city council is wrestling with the issue of the types of prayer permitted before meetings.  As a service I have written the perfect (make that acceptable) non-sectarian prayer:
 

The Lord is my Mayor,

He wants nothing but my vote.

He layeth straight sidewalks for me to walk upon upon,

His cool waters fill the pipes of my home,

He filleth a pothole.

He leadeth me down the greenways of happiness,

For the Earth’s sake.

Yea though I may have to roll my trash to the curb,

I am not uneasy,

For my taxes are low.

Your bureaucrats and thy staff, they answer me.

You regulateth the Cable TV in the presence of my family.

You anoint my yard with leaf mulch.

My recycle bin runs over.

Surely wise ordinances will apply to me,

Unless I’m rezoned.

And I will dwell within the city limits,

Forever.

 "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.  But those that will not break, it kills.  It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially.  If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
