Absurd Legal Cases

The book examines how legal precedents are established and societal shifts influence legal interpretations. For example, cases involving tort law often reveal unexpected applications of legal theory. By presenting court documents, transcripts, and news reports, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, making these unusual cases accessible and engaging.

Beginning with an introduction to absurdity in a legal context, the book progresses through lawsuits based on improbable claims, instances of exploited legal loopholes, and cases shaped by politics and social pressures. This approach demonstrates how these cases reflect broader societal values and biases, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in true crime, political science, or the intricacies of the legal system.
