Prima Facie Vs Ex Facie

One lawyer, draped in the finest legal attire, walked into the High Court. A demand from the Registrar General threatened his entire legal identity. Would his coat and band be enough? Or was he about to be mistaken for a particularly well-dressed imposter?

A lawyer stood, so proud, so grand,
In blackest coat, with band in hand.
He faced the Court, with voice so bold,
"I’m a lawyer—must be told!"

The Registrar smirked, and shook his head,
"Not so fast, my learned friend.
Your coat and band, I do agree,
Are proof—but just prima facie."

The lawyer gasped, in sheer dismay,
"Must I prove it all the way?
My gown is crisp, my look is wise,
Do you doubt your very eyes?"

The Court just laughed, waved his pen,
"Beyond doubt, let me check again.
Enrollment number, let me see,
Whether you hold an LLB degree? "

The lawyer sighed, his pride now gone,
Pulled his card, and passed it on.
With one last look, he made it plain,
"Next time, I'll sew it on my chain!"
