Episode 537: Preliminary Herring

Episode notes

Kareena brings the case against her husband, Ian. The two of them would like to get a fish tank for their home. When they agreed on this, Kareena had a small tank in mind, with one or two fish. But, Ian says he will only accept a 35 gallon tank — nothing less!

Who’s right? Who’s wrong?

Thank you to Nicole DuBow 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.
