Street Lawyer-Legal Humor and Insights

Example

Ever wondered what 'tort' means outside of a dessert context? I explain it's basically when someone's negligence turns your day sour without the sweetness of a cake.

Scenario

A scenario where a neighbor's tree falls and damages your fence. Instead of a lecture on negligence, you get a story about how if trees could sue, we'd all be in arboreal court.

Example

I dish out stories like that of Diogenes the Cynic, who practiced 'civil disobedience' by living in a barrel, showcasing early examples of 'fighting the system.'

Scenario

When discussing public protest rights, I might throw in how if Diogenes had a modern lawyer, his barrel would have had a 'no trespassing' sign.

Example

Think you can distinguish between an actual law and one I made up while watching a pigeon court martial? My quizzes test your legal smarts with a side of sass.

Scenario

A game night setting where you challenge friends to guess if it's legal to duel with water guns in Louisiana. Spoiler: It's not, but I'd argue the pigeons are still debating.
