Our wonderful legal system

Saturday, February 03, 2007 by Dave Winer.

In America we love our lawyers so much, these days when kids have a playground fight there could be a lawsuit against the kid who prevails. And be careful who you choose to represent you, because they could sue you for their own malpractice. I'm sure it's happened, somewhere.  

That's why I've become a fan of a website written by a lawyer called Overlawyered. Great stuff. Today they explain how having a "Super Bowl Party" can get you in trouble with the NFL. You can have a Big Game Party, no problem there, but Super Bowl is a trademark of the National Football League.
