EP 37 - Suspicious Salmon: Britain’s Fishiest Crime (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Juris Oddity dives into one of Britain’s most quoted legal oddities: the crime of handling salmon in suspicious circumstances. It sounds like a Monty Python sketch, but the 1986 law had a very real target—black-market fishing and stolen catches.
Ep 36 — The Right to Ignore Your Boss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
France didn’t exactly make after-hours emails illegal, but it did give workers a legal shield against the glowing tyranny of the inbox. Juris Oddity unpacks the 2017 “right to disconnect,” why burnout pushed lawmakers to act, and how the idea is spreading worldwide.
