Tuesday's Three Burning Legal Questions
Here are
today's three
burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the
blogosphere.
1)
Question: I know that the court rule is "no cameras
in the courtroom" but, come on, what are they really going to do to me if
I try to walk in with one?
Answer: Get ready to be
Tasered, bro. (Jonathan Turley, Court
Staff Tasers Obnoxious Man Insisting On Entering Area With Camera)
2) Question: I work at a casino
as a cocktail waitress and I would like to get some shifts in the "Party
Pit" where the high-rollers hang out! How come I never get assigned to the
Party Pit?
Answer: What is your
dress size? If it is not zero to four, then no Party Pit for you. (New Jersey
Law Journal, Golden
Nugget Cocktail Waitresses Call 'Party Pit' Duty Discriminatory)
3) Question: Before I rode the
mechanical bull at a bar, the bar made me sign a release entitled "PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE
AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK." I signed it without reading it, rode the bull, and got
thrown across the room and hurt my back. Can I successfully sue the bar?
Answer: In Texas, at
least, courts have found that the title of such a release informed you of its
purpose, and you are presumed to have read the release you signed. So you're
riding that bull at your own risk! (Abnormal Use, Mechanical
Bull Tosses Rider, Prevails in Court)
