Thanks to some business law classes that I very much dislike, I’ve decided that the world needs

I’m Not a Lawyer, But….

Idea: Everyone thinks they know stuff about law, mostly because they’ve seen TV and movies and it looks easy.  So now, take two people (or teams, not set on this yet) and give them a “case.”  They get a day or whatever to study/plan for it, then they argue it against each other in front of a judge and jury.  Whoever wins gets like $50,000 or some amount.

Highlights: Frequent shots of judge shaking his head or looking at someone who just said one of the least intelligent things (s)he’s ever heard, very poor uses of “OBJECTION!” and hopefully one or two lawyers getting held in contempt of fake court.  Also, real lawyers who are doing commentary on it.

Tie-ins: If you win X number of cases, you can face off against one of the lawyers who does the commentary (who are all sufficiently cocky and abrasive to the American public) for some crazy sum like $1m.  Also, celebrity week featuring actors/actresses from lawyer shows/movies.  Just imagine  Sam Waterston (everyone’s favorite L&O prosecutor) v. Matthew McConaughey (A Time to Kill).

Someone make this happen

More importantly, I leave tomorrow morning to head up to Nashville to meet up with everyone for the Vandy game.  Too poor for two nights in a hotel, so this’ll have to do.
