In THE CLONE WARS, when can a clone soldier refuse an order? Or are they just the same as a droid? In this episode of Doug Defends, Doug and Billy dive into Star Wars: The Clone Wars and break down some of the biggest legal questions from the series, including whether the clone troopers are effectively a slave army, whether Ahsoka is being used as a child soldier, when clones are legally allowed to disobey orders, and whether the Jedi crossed the line by training an insurgency on Onderon. We break down: * Whether Slick and Cut Lawquane have any legal right to reject military service * Whether the clone army can legally be considered forced labor or slavery * Ahsoka Tano fighting in a war at roughly 14 years old * The legality of Padawans being placed in active combat * Pong Krell’s orders on Umbara and when soldiers can legally refuse commands * Rex’s authority to remove a commanding officer * Dogma killing Krell after he has already been captured * The Jedi training Saw Gerrera and the Onderon rebels * The difference between insurgents, rebels, and terrorists And this is only Volume 1. There is a lot more Clone Wars law left to cover. What should we tackle in The Clone Wars Vol. 2? #legal #lawyer #crime #starwars #clonewars @starwars @dave.filoni @Star Wars @Ridley Defense

DOUG DEFENDS LAWYER LAWYER! 🤣 Would a real judge let Fletcher Reede behave like that in court? In this Doug Defends Legal Brief, defense attorney Doug Ridley and Billy Business revisit Jim Carrey’s 1997 hit “Liar Liar”. Doug breaks down the “devastating to my case” objection, Fletcher’s treatment of witnesses, his courtroom outbursts, the bathroom incident, and the last-minute discovery that wins his case. Doug also has a confession: he’s objected to testimony partly to interrupt its momentum. But how long would a judge put up with Fletcher’s antics? And did the movie get anything right? What’s your favorite courtroom moment in Liar Liar?
