32 of the Most Shocking Cases Lawyers Have Worked On

The existence of strange laws and even stranger criminals means any good lawyer is going to be kept on their toes. That’s certainly something Reddit’s legal professionals can attest to. One law clerk remembers the case of the “little kid fight club,” where moms put their kids in a circle and made them fight “gladiator style,” while filming it. Meanwhile, a lawyer remembers a short-lived case in which a client insisted on suing an employee who failed to show up to work, only to find out the employee no-showed because he died. 

And those aren’t even the most shocking cases lawyers brought to the court of Reddit. There are quite a few stories here that will send a chill down your spine — especially the one about a sociopath’s various pacts with other hospital patients.
