Episode 467: Trash Action Lawsuit

Episode notes

Kelly brings the case against her husband, Andrew. Their next door neighbors tend to leave their garbage cans at the curb for a long time after the trash collectors come through. Andrew wants to bring the neighbor’s cans back to the house for them, but Kelly thinks it’s too passive-aggressive for him to do so. With Guest Bailiff Jean Grae!

Thank you to Logan Green for naming this week’s case! To suggest a title for a future episode, follow Judge John Hodgman on Facebook. We regularly put out a call for submissions.
