A True Supervillain Uses IP Law to Attack Their Enemies (SHLD Ep. 5)

What If… GLK/H Had A Great Legal Marketing Team?

Whether you loved it or hated it… Season One of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is in the books. And this also wraps up Season One of SuperHuman Law Division (SHLD) Podcast. We've enjoyed going through and spotting the legal and law firm issues and discussing them from both a lawyer's perspective and a legal operations professional's point of view.  We reached back out to local counsel this week and brought back Ashley Carlisle, Head of Marketing at HyperDraft to walk us through the legal topics of this specific episode, but also to put back on her marketing and business development hat and break down the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of GLK/H's marketing strategy. Honestly, it was GLK/H's lack of marketing strategy that really happened in this fictional MCU BigLaw firm. Thank you to everyone who took the time to listen to our thoughts on the show. We'll take a break and determine what we'll talk about in a possible Season Two of SHLD. If you have suggestions, ping us at @SuperHumanPod on Twitter. Stay Super Everyone!!

She-Hulk and Daredevil: Attorneys at Law (SHLD Ep. 8)

This week we reached out to local Los Angeles counsel, lawyer Ashley Carlisle [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleycarlisle/], who is the Head of Marketing at HyperDraft to help break down Ep. 8 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, "Ribbit and Rip It." And there is a lot to talk about in the penultimate episode of season one. We'd really like it if Jennifer/She-Hulk would take a little more time interviewing her clients before representing them in court. Specifically, ask more detailed questions of anyone who runs around in a superpowered Frog suit and calls themselves LeapFrog. Even if, or maybe especially if, your client's father is a big client at GLK/H. We finally get to see Matt Murdock, AKA Daredevil, in action, both in the court and fighting goons in dark hallways. Not to mention the chemistry between Jen and Matt. For two people who can fight and discuss legal defense strategy at the same time, we need to see them team-up much more often. (Maybe there is a future Murdock and Walters law firm in the making??? Please, MCU, say yes!!) Just how much property damage can She-Hulk cause, and still feel like she needs to leave a note confessing to it? And finally, the Gala Awards for "Female Lawyer of the Year" starts off bad, and immediately gets worse. Huge thanks to Ashley Carlisle for lending a hand this week in discussing all the legal and other issues. To find out more about Ashley and HyperDraft, check out the links below.

ABOMASTE: The Work/Life Balance of a SuperHuman Attorney (SHLD Ep. 7)

A great Lawyer Wellness Program is something that Jennifer Walters could really benefit from with her stressful life of being the face of the GLK/H law firm's SuperHuman Law Division. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that is offered by the firm, so she accidentally ends up in a group wellness session at Emil Blonksy's ranch retreat.  We discuss the various legal and personal issues raised in Episode 7: The Retreat of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. After being ghosted by "Too Good to Be True" Josh, Jen finds that Emil Blonsky (AKA The Abomination) may have violated his parole requirements after his inhibitor bracelet malfunctions. The Retreat may be just what Jen needs to find a balance between working at a BigLaw firm, dating life, and the fact that someone seems to be out for blood… gamma-radiated blood, specifically. While we do not appear in court this week, there are still many legal issues ranging from simple assault, to property damages, insurance claims, and possible fraud and sexual assault. Just for fun, we also talk about how Disney is bringing in more and more Mutant (X-Men franchise) characters into the MCU fold. Joshua Lenon joins in from the airport as he winds his way across the US this week before landing in Nashville for the Clio Cloud Conference, October 10 – 11, 2022 in Nashville, TN [https://cliocloudconference.com/]. He is looking forward to everyone asking him more legal questions about She-Hulk, so make sure to find him if you are in attendance. We are also hoping that he'll have some SHLD Podcast Stickers to hand out! We are making our way to the end of Season One of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Reach out to us on Twitter to make suggestions of what we should cover next on the podcast. Maybe Batman's Trial on the animated series? More She-Hulk comic book storylines?

Talking to a Lawyer Shouldn't Make You Want to Jump Out a Window (SHLD Ep. 6)

Clients will do a lot of things to get out of legal predicaments, but Mr. Immortal would literally prefer to die than listen to attorneys and paralegals arguing.  In Episode Six, "Just Jen," it looks like Disney+ was trying to save on CGI costs. That issue to the side, we look at three parts of the show that looks at legal issues ranging from Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, to divorce laws and when is a dead spouse, not really dead. Sprinkle in a little assault with a deadly superpowered weapon, and you have a full rundown of this week's She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Can an Attorney Really Ever Take Time Off? Jennifer Walters is asked to be a brides maid for an inconvenient Thursday wedding. (Really, aren't all wedding inconvenient?) But, how does taking a couple day off for an attorney at a BigLaw firm affect those all important billable hours?  If You Cannot Die… Can You Fake It (and end a marriage)? Mr. Immortal is a new client of GLK/H and is needing to negotiate a divorce settlement. With eight former spouses. Mallory Book and Nikki Ramos are there to represent him, but their hearts aren't really in it. This quasi-arbitration/divorce settlement brings in some interesting concessions, and somehow they keep Mr. Immortal from jumping out another window.  Intelligencia - The Website for Man-Babies Speech is protected, even in the MCU. But, there is some serious hate-speech directed at She-Hulk in this episode through the Intelligencia website. This mix between Reddit and 4Chan tests the limits of free speech in Earth 616 and in our own world. What's protected, and what is outside the protections of the laws? It's an issue that all universes apparently face.

A True Supervillain Uses IP Law to Attack Their Enemies (SHLD Ep. 5)

In both the real world, and on Marvel Comic's Earth 616, Intellectual Property Law can be a super weapon to inflict serious pain upon your enemies. On the latest episode of The SuperHuman Law Division Podcast, we look at the legal issues raised when She-Hulk loses the rights to call herself She-Hulk after Titania stakes her claim to that trademarked term. New Logo... and a Shoutout to our Friends at Law360's Pro Say Podcast! We are excited to roll out our new logo for the SuperHuman Law Division Podcast. Thanks to ChangoATX [https://linktr.ee/ChangoATX] for the great artwork! We love it!! Also, our friend Amber McKinney [https://www.linkedin.com/in/amber-mckinney-6a0b2b6/] had her Law360 Podcast, Pro Say [https://www.law360.com/podcasts], mentioned in this episode. We're hoping to get Amber on the show later to do a recap on what she thinks of the show. Congrats Amber!! Is First to File Really a Thing in Trademark Law? Jennifer receives a lot of mansplaining on trademark law and who gets to claim ownership of the name She-Hulk. But, is that really how it works? Lawyers and Firms Should Not Represent Themselves!! "A person who represents themselves has a fool for a client." That rule applies in this episode not only to Jennifer, but to the law firm of GLK/H as well. There is a huge conflict of interest in what GLK/H wants with the She-Hulk name versus what Jennifer Walters wants with the name. Can a Tailor of SuperHuman Clothes be Liable? We meet Luke, the tailor for superpowered individuals. What are the legal implications of making designer clothes for superheroes, supervillains, and vigilantes?
