  • Superman Legal Panel at Baltimore Comic Con

    Recorded Live at Baltimore Comic Con!

    It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a Felony? Did Superman Cause Us to Go to War?

    Our favorite Kryptonian and adopted Earthling returned to the big screen in 2025, but legal issues abound in this movie, including: Is Superman an American citizen or even legally adopted? Can his actions represent the United States Government? Did Lex Luthor violate the Espionage Act? Which kind of license should Krypto have: dog or pilot? Can Supergirl be held legally responsible for drunk partying? Join our team of lawyers and comic book aficionados as they educationally and hilariously analyze these questions and more, with Michael Dennis, David Donovan, Joel Schwarz, and Mark Zaid. Presented by The Legal Geeks (TheLegalGeeks.com) in their first Baltimore Comic-Con appearance!

  • Ghostbusters Law of the Afterlife at Bay Con!

    Recorded live at Bay Con 2025 in Santa Clara, CA! Join Josh Gilliland for his analysis of the Ghostbusters film series. From the panel description:

    Who you gonna call… when the Ghostbusters get sued? From ghost containment ethics to property damage caused by proton packs, the Ghostbusters franchise is full of supernatural shenanigans that raise real-world legal questions. Could trapping a ghost be considered false imprisonment? What environmental laws apply to a ghost containment unit? And was animating the Statue of Liberty a legal nightmare?
    Join The Legal Geeks as they break down the law of the afterlife with a panel of judges and attorneys. Using their legal expertise (and maybe a P.K.E. meter or two), they’ll explore the weird, wild, and surprisingly complex legal issues in the Ghostbusters universe. Don't miss this electrifying discussion—just be careful not to cross the streams!
