Is the law a laughing matter?
Manage episode 337244503 series 3380407
The law, from perspectives outside and inside, is a formal, detail-oriented affair. But a semester studying any unit at law school will unearth details which are memorably funny, and absurd. To what extent, therefore, can the law entertain such humour? In this episode, we compile some of the best instances of legal humour, ranging from facts, judgements, and written submissions. We also take a look at the rather surprising amount of theory behind judicial humour, with its official support and attempted regulation.
