LegalEagle

Go To

I just discovered this person on YouTube, member name is LegalEagle (real first name is Devin) who is a real life lawyer, and has been doing videos discussing the accuracies (or mistakes) TV shows or movies make when featuring real legal matters.

He already has many videos up, but this video is a good starting point, where he discusses the infamous series finale to Seinfeld.


Mod Note

There is a forum-wide ban on discussing US politics, which remains in place as long at the dedicated US Politics thread is locked.

If a new episode goes back onto that subject (or any of the other banned topics) then you are not allowed to discuss it. You can discuss any video about anything else, just not related to US politics.

If this becomes a problem, posts will be thumped and there may be further consequences.

We've already had to lock this thread once. If we have to lock it again, it's likely to remain locked for a very long time — and may not get unlocked at all. We'd really like to avoid that.

…Because a good ol’ Watergate was the only thing missing in his resumé. >.>

On another note, since next month is the annual vote at the UN on the end of the sixty-year long Cuban blocade, I wonder if LE could make an episode on that blocade and its implications in terms of national and international right? Especially since foreign companies that violate it expose themselves to US sanctions (including a French bank a few years ago) despite the blocade being decided by the US alone.

I was going to say the obligatory "Leave Britney alone!" meme, but oh man, the situation is a lot worse than I thought. I actually haven't heard anything about her for...what, almost a whole decade? Things certainly happened to her. surprised

I did not actually think it was this easy to not only deprive someone of their rights, but keep their rights away with no justification for years… That’s scary. =[

Legal Eagle on the Supreme Court decision on the Texas abortion ban. Short version, he is baffled and very concerned by the decision.

Ah, the days when casual racism, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape were totally cool if the protagonists did it. See also: James Bond.

Does anyone else only watch Legal Eagle to see how he will segue into his adverts?

Just me?

Alrighty then.

Legal Eagle reacts to a Dhar Mann production and honestly watching him actually lose his mind over the sheer stupid on display is hilarious.

This is the first time I'm hearing of Dhar Mann, and I'm not getting a good impression.

I'm disappointed he didn't say that the defendant would've been better off with Lionel Hutz as his attorney.

Dead god. That video (the original) was pretty much unwatchable. That was... so cringe.

From what I gather by watching Legal Eagle's reaction, it is a series of short films (or a "television" series) designed to give glurgey feels to people watching, and if this particular one is any indication, it's by presenting the most absurd and poorly researched scenarios possible so that someone can be "rescued" from them.

Sounds a bit like Murder, She Wrote now that I think about it.

The first time I heard of him was a couple of days before this video, when I randomly watched a Doctor Mike reaction to his medical content (which was done about a month ago). Doctor Mike's reaction makes LE look calm.
