It’s all out lawyers attack! What can Kaiju movies teach us about shelter in place orders? Are parents financially responsible for kids who create a giant napping monster with cosmic rays? What are the First Amendment lessons from Mothra? Are common carriers such as trains, planes, and ships responsible for protecting passengers from Kaiju attacks? Join attorneys Bethany Bengfort (Durie Tangri), Nari Ely (US. Courts), Thomas Harper (Army JAG), and Joshua Gilliland (The Legal Geeks), as they battle legal issues from Ultraman, Gamera, Godzilla, Mothra, and more! Follow us at https://linktr.ee/thelegalgeeks

We launched The Legal Geeks on July 12, 2012. The past eight years have been an excellent adventure of blogging, podcasting, presenting San Diego Comic Con, Nerd Nites, and other great events. Above all else, we have built a community of lawyers and judges who love pop culture. It should be no surprise that a kid who grew up reading comic books would one day be a judge. Having wonderful friends across North America has made this adventure all the more worthwhile. Thank you all who have joined us on this journey. There will be more to come.

Jaws defined summer blockbusters in 1975. In honor of the 45th Anniversary of this classic film, I sat down with my friends Steve Chu and Kathy Steinman to discuss Amity Island’s liability for the multiple shark attacks.

The Empire Strikes Back at 40

The Empire Strikes Back is a generation defining film. We asked Judges for May the 4th for their memories on seeing “Empire” and to discuss one of the many legal issues from the film. As for myself, I saw “Empire” with my mother the opening weekend at the Century 21 Theaters in San Jose, CA. Now closed, the below view is what I saw at age 5 while sitting on a blanket in the parking lot with cars going around the very long line. As my mother used to tell the story, my feet went to the end of the chair and as soon as the opening crawl started, I neither moved or blinked. I know many others have very similar memories from seeing this amazing film.

We hope you enjoy hearing from Judges on their memories of “Empire.”

The Clone Wars has been some of the best storytelling in Star Wars. These stories also have many outstanding legal issues. Stephen Tollafield, Thomas Harper, and I reviewed each episode in the final season for deep dives into many complex questions of law. Below are our podcasts on the events leading up to Order 66 and the founding of the Galactic Empire.
