Legal Research Comedy: It's Still Good Law! Part 1

Vignette portion of a legal training video demonstrating the pitfalls of failing to properly verify mandatory case authority. Produced in 1988, it is still haunting 1Ls in first year legal research classes to this day. A cult classic in law schools across the country for two decades. Now with a laugh track!

What the hell is up with that laugh track? I wanted to show this to students, but that laugh track is distracting and makes no sense.

What is so freaken funny? The laughing in the background is so annonying.  This would have been a great video if it wasn't for that.

Maybe adding the laugh track gives posting of this video protection against copyright violation claims? :)
