I was the bailiff of a mock trial of the Three Little Pigs. I don't remember much of the case except for the defense asked his client the wolf what his occupation was. The Wolf's occupation was selling storm proof doors and windows, and was "demonstrating to the pigs that their doors and windows weren't strong enough to withstand the elements." The wolf was found not guilty.

Antigone is one of my favorite Greek heroines. Her whole defense is "Yeah I broke the law, but that was a stupid law anyway" which is becoming quite relevant in our day and age.

[zoeh]

We did a mock trial in my hs English class after reading "of mice and men". I was George's defense attorney and took it way, WAY too seriously. Cross examination went poorly when it became abundantly clear that my star witness had not read the book.

I think the suit shorts is a great idea; call them "Legal Briefs"

[mizinoinovermyhead.]

Objection: The person who gave the apple to snow white was not the queen, but an old hag. The defense has yet to provide proof that these are the same person.

"It will hurt your case, even though it's not supposed to" just about sums up the American legal system.

[donalddickerson]

Not gonna lie, I think a series where you and Mike or you and other lawyers take over prosecutor and defense roles to do a mock trial for works of literature would be awesome. Especially if you let viewers file the potential complaints/issues and submit various works to look at for various reasons.

[rev.diablo]

I would 100% watch a legal series that draws from classic works like Antigone.

[neeneko]

I would think a defense would be fairly straight forward : sovereign immunity. She was a local sovereign power who ordered the assassination of a political threat, which means she was doing it as part of her official role and duties.

That fact that Devon did mock trial for all those years makes him so much endearing to me, than he already was! I was the science fair nerd-- and now I am a public health professional and biomedical biologist. I took a health law course at my graduate school's law school, so I had like a semester of law school life...Lol! I would love to do a health law/ public health law segment with him one day. -Krissy

As an aside, I would absolutely love a legal analysis of mythologies, especially if the standard of the time.

Especially Roman myths, because the Roman legal system was just absolutely bonkers, and partly based off how physically far away you were from the victim. Shooting someone with an arrow was a lesser crime than stabbing them with a knife, is was absolutely insane.

[herkles]

I would love to see you cover historical court cases, trials and events from antiquity and the middle ages. Ancient plays are also good too. :)

[thecontemptuous]

I would legit watch a series of you doing mock trials about classical literature against other lawyer friends of yours. theres some good stuff in greek tragedy and Shakespeare that would be solid 5-10 minute episodes

4:24 "Just say something 'Mmmm' Nailed it"
That was adorable. Thanks guys, you made my day.

1:28 I saw a defendant show up to court wearing a tank top with the bud light logo plastered all over it. The judge absolutely went off on him about how inappropriate it was. The guy's excuse was that he had no other clean clothes. Judge basically told him that if he has to choose between a beer shirt and a normal shirt that might smell a little bad up close, to never choose the beer shirt.

[richtersundeen]

Antigone was clearly "guilty" but the law was unjust. It's a case for jury nullification if there ever was one.

[gingergoddess]

Now I definitely want a Legal Literature series. I'd be curious to see him go through the trials in To Kill a Mockingbird, Les Miserables, Notre Dame de Paris, and The Crucible. He could also talk about the legalities and the blurry lines of fanfiction, because it'd tie in pretty well to both the legal and the lit side.

[TheBoondocksaint]

In my high school, we did a mock trial for Macbeth. I was a prosecutor, but I also didn't actually read the play. I went off of context clues in the trial and the general understanding I had of the story from just knowing pop culture and still ended up winning.

[vizoredchris]

I would totally watch YouTube lawyers conducting mock trials based off of literature

You know how you get out of jury duty? It worked for me successfully four different times. What you do is you act really excited and happy to be there and interested in everything. They hate it.
