Are there any legal IASIP episodes left to review?

To be fair, the third arbitrator just coming up with nonsense is exactly what the gang was looking for. They fired the previous two for trying to determine fair ownership rationally.
-
"Charlie is not a legal expert, even in bird law."
You totally besmirched him today and I demand satisfaction. -
The funniest part about this episode is that it's Mac's "coming out" moment. He doesn't do it out of personal struggle, catharsis or to inspire others - but to just win a lottery ticket. πππ
-
"It's a 2 dollar scratcher, who cares" To be fair, this in essence sums up 90% of the gang's problems.
-
"Im her boss and she makes less than minimum wage"
Thats quite a confession. -
"Even the kid with the balloon knew where to look" kills me every time
-
I like how this trilogy is basically legal eagle slowly coming to terms with being an IASIP fan
-
To be fair, that 3rd arbitrator was probably just a legal secretary told to make something up and get rid of them so that the support staff could go home.
-
I love that he started yelling about how sad Dee is along with the gang
-
Yeah, Frank's argument is basically how the entire gang works - "If by some accident, I actually do something in my life that helps someone else...then obviously somebody owes me something."

I love that heβs seen enough episodes now to understand the gangβs relationship with Dee and fully piles on with the others. -
"The writers of the show must know what they're doing to write Charlie so insane from a legal perspective." Yes. I love the appreciation of writing comedy. Too many people just say somethings wrong but don't seem to understand that was intentional.
Would love to see a reaction to an episode of Laverne and Shirley called Robot Lawsuit. Particularly for the end. -
I definitely laughed when Devin fast forwarded through the "exercise" bike part to giving us that face after all of that π€£
-
I think the point of them switching arbitrators 2X is they donβt want a βLegalβ answer. They want someone to conform to their version of reality.
-
βArbitration is a thing that you can do.β
This is the hard hitting commentary only a lawyer can provide -
"the writers must know about law with how they write charlie to seem so insane from a legal perspective" -> charlie day is one of the two most active writers in the series -> charlie must know about law -> wait what?
-
I think the arbitrator was operating under the kind of schoolground justice model that the gang was presenting. They didn't hire an arbitrator to tell them who, legally, owns the ticket; they were hired to tell them who "should" get it. They weren't going to accept a legal justification anyway, only one that they would find compelling enough to go along with it, like the lofty principles of "finder's keepers" and "I did you a solid".
-
I can imagine by the third arbitrator the firm had a decent grasp of the Gang's lunacy and just made up an insane conclusion to this case to get them out of the building.
-
That's one of my favorite episodes and I've seen it a few times, but I just caught the full irony of the legal bill being $9,998 which Mac has to pay so he can receive a ticket that costs 2 bucks, but is worth 10 thousand, leaving him with 2 bucks profit, presumably to buy another ticket and possibly start the cycle again from the very beginning. I would love to see that sequel!
