The Star Trek films Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home all ask the question: How do you define victory in the no-win scenario? Lawyers face that question regularly when representing people in legal jeopardy. A panel of judges and lawyers examine legal issues from the "Genesis Trilogy," including the legality of the Genesis Device; whether the insanity defense applies to someone with a Ceti Alpha V eel wrapped around their cerebral cortex; whether the necessity defense applies to stealing the USS Enterprise; whether it is legal to park a Bird of Prey in Golden Gate Park; and whether you can violate the Marine Mammal Protection Act to save the planet. Featuring U.S. Magistrate Judge Steve Chu (United States District Court for the Southern District of California), U.S. Magistrate Judge Stan Boone (United States District Court for the Eastern District of California), Judge Danna Nicholas (San Diego County Superior Court), Christine Peek (McManis Faulkner), Mark Zaid (Mark S.

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!

Recorded live at San Diego Comic Fest on March 9, 2019. 

Overview of Facts:  

Harvey Dent had his silver dollar taken away as part of his treatment at Arkham Asylum. Psychotherapist Ruth Adams claimed Dent was being “cured” of his obsession with duality. Dent’s treatment was replacing his coin with a six-sided die and then Tarot cards. Dr. Adams next stage of treatment was to introduce Dent to I-Ching. Dr. Adams believed Dent would have a completely functional judgment facility that did not result in black and white absolutes.

Result of Treatment: 

Dent was unable to make basic decisions, such as when to go to the bathroom. The treatment left Dent hollow and sitting under a table the day the inmates took over asylum.  

The Lawsuit: 

Attorneys retained by the Wayne Foundation have brought 42 U.S.C.S. 1983 lawsuit against Arkham Asylum, the late Arkham Administrator Charles Cavendish, Dr. Ruth Adams, and DOES 1-50, claiming that Harvey Dent’s treatment violated the 8th and 14th Amendments. Dent’s attorneys have claimed Dr. Cavendish and Dr. Adams demonstrated a “deliberate indifference to a prisoner's serious illness” and subjected Dent to "the unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain" by taking away his coin. Attorneys for the state have brought a summary judgment motion on the grounds that Dent’s coin was not taken away as a form of punishment, but a form of treatment.

Attorneys retained by the Wayne Foundation on Dent’s behalf have brought suit against Arkham Asylum, the late Arkham Administrator Charles Cavendish, Dr. Ruth Adams, and DOES 1-50, claiming that Dent’s treatment violated the 8th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The Defendants have argued that Dent’s coin was not taken away as a form of punishment, but a form of treatment.

Arguments by Parties 

The Plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary instruction against Arkham Asylum to cease any treatments on Harvey Dent that deprive him of his coin. The Plaintiff will argue that Arkham Asylum, the late Arkham Administrator Charles Cavendish, and Dr. Ruth Adams, were all deliberately indifferent to Harvey Dent’s medical condition, that the treatment amounted to cruel and unusual punishment, and that a preliminary injunction is needed in order to prevent further cruelty to Harvey Dent.   

The Defendants oppose the motion on the grounds that Harvey Dent’s treatment was not punishment or deliberate indifference to the patient’s medical needs, therefore there is not a likelihood of success on the merits, risk of irreparable harm, the balance of equities and hardships do not tip in the plaintiff's favor, and an injunction is not in the public interest.
