Kathryn files suit against her friend, Jerome. Jerome commissioned Kathryn to paint large scale panels inspired by the Hubble telescope photos. She did, and he’s thrilled with them except for one thing: She didn’t sign her work! She says that’s not her thing. But, even still, Jerome thinks she should sign the panels.
Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
Thank you to Elyse O’Neill 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 there.

Jerome Exhibit A // "This is the entry door to my TARDIS. Prepare for The Meaning of Meaning."
Jerome Exhibit B // "In the back yard leading to the TARDIS is a driftwood sculpture with a colony of Frolics. The Frolics share a common ancestor with Daleks. The Frolics are the generous, fun loving, free spirit branch of that tree."
Jerome Exhibit C // "This is the man cave on your right as you step in. The front divider panel is the first thing you see as you walk in the TARDIS."
Jerome Exhibit D1 // "As you step in the TARDIS, to your left is the art corner, with the following elements:
o Head on is the Confronting Art Challenge.
o To the left is the Tunnel of Lights, together with various bolo ties.
o To the right is the Literal Sacrifice sculpture and the Sculpture of Pots, along with various bolo ties."
Jerome Exhibit D2 // "Launching off from the art corner is the Vacuum of Space Bot."
Jerome Exhibit E // "Above the man cave and the art corner is ceiling 1."
Jerome Exhibit F // "Past the divider panels (one front facing the man cave and one behind facing the workshop/storage area) is the workshop and storage area (yet to be organized)."
