Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: The defendant in one case mentions this when pointing out that the Not-Quite brother's so-called lightning-proof tower is actually not safe. Cue to the next day where it's a pile of ashes. Fortunately, no one was in the tower, and it didn't seem to knock into other buildings. While initially the defendant is sued for potential arson, Professor Parsons corrects Doug Savage's assumption that lightning only strikes items on the ground; the tower by being built so high and made of wood attracted such electrical currents. It was basically doomed the minute they mounted it, and they had sheer luck that no one was inside the tower when it came down.

You Gotta Have Blue Hair is no longer a trope.


* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Judge Stone, Miss Krempel, and Mr. Savage all have hair in various bluish tones, while the rest of the cast has more normal colors. Though Mr. Savage's hair has been shown to be a wig on several occasions.

** Outside court appearances have Judge Stone wearing a biker jacket and sunglasses.



* NotSoAboveItAll: Miss Krempel can ''occasionally'' be just as childish or bizarre as everyone else.

to:

* NotSoAboveItAll: Miss Krempel can ''occasionally'' be just as childish or bizarre as everyone else. For example, childish pushing or "it is, it isn't" fights with Doug Savage.


Added DiffLines:

** Professor Parsons; it's not as apparent as Cramwood, but he's still a reasonably upbeat guy.

Added DiffLines:

** For the first two seasons, whoever is reading the verdict will first read the verdict, then go "Furthermore" with a rather silly addendum related to either the plaintiff or defendant quirks. Lampshaded by Judge Stone later on, who gets progressively more exasperated whenever the jury does have a "furthermore" moment and tries to nip it in the bud (often to no avail).
* OnlySaneMan: Well, women; Judge Stone and Allison Krempel are arguably the most competent people in the court. While each can have moments as silly as the rest, these two hold on to it most competently. Only Dr. Julie Bean may hold on to it more firmly, but she's only ever on as an expert witness.

Added DiffLines:

* FrivolousLawsuit: Many, frequently PlayedForLaughs, but the suit in "Living Things" takes the cake: Clara Swindel is suing a poet for not composing eulogies for a chicken bone, a (still alive) brine shrimp egg, and a ''wallet'', both for monetary compensation and to make it where he can ''never'' write poetry again.

Added DiffLines:

** From "Gravity": Clara '''''Swindel''''' as a SnakeOilSalesman. Even the jury can't help but suppress a laugh at that one.

Not only is that a YMMV trope, it's not an example because they acknowledge it.

* SouthernBelle: Clarice Cow.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: "Water cycle". Richman may not have much of a case for suffering (as he didn't ''severely'' hurt himself, and he was standing in a puddle) and his accusation was wrong... but he ''does'' have a valid case in that technically, this ''is'' a safety hazard, and it needs to be fixed. This is lessened by the fact the jury acknowledges this, and that Richman wasn't actually hurt.
