There are many, many, many ways to try and get out of a contract in America. She can claim breach of contract (by asserting that a material provision of the contract was violated in some manner by Dr. Luke), fraud (that the contract was entered into on the basis of a misstatement of a material fact “You said you were…

Apparently his firm does civil litigation but I don’t know of any big cases he’s dealt with other than criminal ones.

You would think but the vast majority of their articles dealing with legal issues are completely bereft of actual legal analysis. Another example is them trotting out the Answer filed by Wal-Mart’s defense attorneys in response to the Tracy Morgan lawsuit wherein they assert the affirmative defense that his failure to…

Haha. I scrambled to get this comment submitted ASAP (despite being in the middle of like 7 work things) so it would be noticed. I too wrote something in one of the previous posts but it was lost in the vast sea of comments.

Or maybe Jezebel should ask one of their lawyer commentators for some assistance before drafting posts about legal issues. I’ve been volunteering for years. Just like when Gawker posted that awful article lambasting the aunt who sued her nephew for a broken arm without any context for why or how that could happen…

Yes, you can lose an injunction and still win the case. I’m trying not to be hard on the laypeople here, but it’s hard when so many feel qualified to provide their opinion on a legal matter.

Right! And sometimes they’ll even say as much in their decisions. “The Court would have provided Plaintiff with relief, but they failed to request same in their complaint.” I mean, you even see it on Judge Judy (I know) sometimes. She’ll say “I would have awarded you $5k, but you only asked for $3k so that’s as much…

The Court is NOT on Dr. Luke’s “side.” The Judge merely applied the law to the facts. As an attorney one of the hardest things to deal with are bad facts. They are what they are and we do our best to construe them most favorably to our clients but ultimately Judges have no discretion to choose a “side” they like. It’s…

The 5th Amendment can only be invoked when a response would incriminate you (personally, not incriminate your husband or someone you care about) criminally not civilly. You’re thinking about spousal privilege, which she can invoke only if it’s a private oral communication between spouses. Meaning that it has to be…

It’s concerning how many people with clearly no legal education are weighing in on legal decisions. It’s not that simple, folks. Judges don’t get to make decisions based on their personal opinions, nor should they.

Something I recently learned the hard way. Sometimes you have to touch the stove to learn that it’s hot.

Fucking love her. She was awesome on WWHL this week, she was awesome on this, and she’s awesome on SNL. Big fan. Huge fan. You’re the fucking best, Aidy!

What is the duration of each goat sex episode? Does the goat have to reach completion for it to be over?

Redacted.

Hello my mom posted that Obama killed Scalia on my FB wall. Yay!

But you still had access to doctors you could go to. Liking them is a different story. Whatever, this whole back and forth is ultimately pointless. Let’s focus our energy at wondering how a teenager was able to do all of this when I barely can leave my couch on Saturday.

Interesting. As dastardly and dangerous it all is, it’s still pretty impressive for a teenager.

Fair enough. But to the average person (me), it looks legit.

You didn’t answer any of my questions.

And? The rent was likely not $100/month. It was likely several thousand.
