Very helpful, and a great cast of characters! No words can fully express how grateful we are for your work in helping to keep our democracy intact. Thank you, Joyce. ❤️
This was brilliant! Something even this old RN could understand (oops, no offense, I think we are the same age). I appreciate the humor in this. Thank you
Harry is a cat and they always have ulterior motives. I am willing to bet has a plan to scam the chickens out of something or will testify against them. Expert on red stains? Pfft. Cats are killers. Despite being a sweet Maine Coon, he is thinking about how tasty fresh chicks would be.
Okay, so that was very cool. Finally, I think I understand "mens rea", which I first heard mentioned in “Legally Blonde”. The chickens are brimming with intent the way they brazenly attack the watermelon; besides they even look guilty. (Does that count?) Don’t leave copies of “Animal Farm” laying around; it’ll give them ideas. Your closing statement: “We’re in this together”, reminds me of the “Red Green Show”, which is now off the air…. I think Red Green used this as an excuse. Anyway, I LOVE the chicken analogy. Very clever and didactic.
Excellent example of not just what a statute requires but how it is used and proved of potentially frustrated. Defense council will argue that standard chicken feed also leaves a pink residue in 50% of white chickens. Perhaps that’s what the cat saw. Reasonable doubt? How do you build a case that can’t be pecked apart by opposing council? Thank you. Love the photos.
Given the cast of characters involved, you are going to need to expand your menagerie a lot. I am not sure if the SPCA has massive very orange tabby that you can borrow. Don’t forget the snakes
I'm really glad it's helpful. The law should be clear and easy for everyone to understand and it's great to see so many people taking the time to understand it. That's really the best vaccination against future attacks on democracy.
Loved the chick's J. I subscribed cuz I think you are a latent comedienne. And I've kept my eye on you for years now. Your funnier than I could ever imagine. Please charge my CC the monthly amount.
You're doing too much. Take time for your kids, Sincerely,

This is one of my favorite Substack entries of all time. It is charming and effective! “The Watermelon Eaters” !
Gurl, this is why I subscribed.
Also--I teach in analogies as well and I really appreciate the effort that went into this lesson.

I'm so glad it helped!
The basics of Conspiracy in law. And a lesson in Creative Writing! Awesome article. Beautiful Chickens.
Fantastic! I bet your law school exam scenarios are amazing!
Law school and 33 years of practice enabled me to read your chicken article with the proper appreciation it deserved. YES!
I love this! Almost anyone 😂 could understand this analogy! You are brilliant!
Thank you!
Okay, I thought I had some good examples to explain financial concepts to my students, but this post was a master class! Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That Harry is one handsome boy ❤️
Harry is my boi!

Wow! The instincts of a defense lawyer at work here. 😂

What a great teacher you are! Thanks for breaking this down in a way that makes understanding accessible to us non-lawyers!
