He only kills criminals. It's the drug lord b***h lady that kills innocent people, if anything, Dredd would be allowing more death and misery by walking away and letting her live..
>untold emotionally suffering of all the people in the complex
oh no not their heckin fee fees
You say that until several of his hotshot rounds blast through your apartment wall shredding your pc into pieces and maybe killing your dog all so he can frag a crack head.
oh no not muh heckin pee cee and dogarino
and you say these until the crack head kills your dog, steals your pc so he can sell it for more drugs, and tells you to shut the frick up white boy.
dredds one and only personality trait is and always has been his obsequiousness, he enforces the law exactly the way mega city one prescribes, that is his function as a character, thats always been the point. is this not obvious to everyone?
>noun. /əbˈsiːkwiəsnəs/ /əbˈsiːkwiəsnəs/ [uncountable] (formal, disapproving) the fact of trying too hard to please somebody, especially somebody who is important;
buuhhh?
It means he serves THE LAW to an absurd degree
You could argue it's a bit more nuanced than that. He often does things for himself, just uses the law as a backing. In a way the law is what gives him his humanity.
>He often does things for himself, just uses the law as a backing.
When? I can't really think of any time that's happened over the course of all the comics. The only one that comes to mind is when he wound up not agreeing with the anti-mutie laws in the Meg, but even then he still enforced them until he was able to help get the laws overturned.
I hope that b***h got 30 days in the isocubes for sassing a Judge.
>90 days of forced labour
Literally nothing, littering would have gotten him a couple of years in the cubes.
Wow thank frick we have you to analyze the scene
He does let some people off, or at least with lesser sentences, than others, so it's not quite so clear-cut. It depends on whether he thinks you've learned your lesson or are in need of correction.
You misused the word “obsequiousness”
In the film this isn't really true, he obviously shows zero mercy to violent criminals but he was willing to give the manprostitute time to leave before arresting him when he didn't, let the hacker guy survive after Anderson told him he was a victim, and passed Anderson despite her multiple failings.
>he enforces the law exactly the way mega city one prescribes
He goes easy on kids even if they're aiming loaded guns at him. Compare that behavior to current cops. No sane cop would tell suspects that their guns properly wienered.
they are underaged he is Dredd, he was fully prepared to kill them if necessary, it was not necessary, non-lethal force is the first option, the circumstance in that case was irrelevant, he was confronted by children he used the appropriate measure of force, he is Dredd
>current cops
>Dredd
even in Mega City One Dredd is not a normal cop, maybe some other judge would've taken the easy way out, not Judge Dredd
congratulations, you got the point of the movie.
Imagine if he's just super autistic and other cops aren't like this
>DREDD! IN MY OFFICE NOW
>ACCORDING TO THIS REPORT YOU KILLED 32 PEOPLE AND BLEW UP A GREATER CITY BLOCK
>YOU'RE A LOOSE CANNON DREDD
No need to imagine, that's pretty much how it is. The vast majority of Judges (in the North Atlantic Mega-Cities, anyway) are obvious hardasses but even they regularly have Judges get in trouble for being too lenient, or being crooked, or not giving out enough Applied Violence. No one is as autistic and single-minded about the Law™ as Dredd is- except maybe one Sidney De'ath, of course.
i literately got jury duty papers for the first time in my life at age 32 today
i will pick the iso-cubes
Getting out of jury duty is super simple. During the phase where they are choosing jurors just state that you are racist.
Yeah they put that on your file.
>file
You have to be 18 to post here.
Shut up israelite you know that shit is recorded forever.
Where? On what? How fricking dumb are you? The only file city, state, or federal officials have for private citizens is arrest records? Did you honestly believe your 3rd grade teachers that it would go on your permanent file when she caught you sticking pencils up your ass or something?
>The only file city, state, or federal officials have for private citizens is arrest records?
BAHAHAHAHAHA oh you dumb motherfricker
Is this where you start talking about the Illuminati or the israelites or the Rothschilds? Your life isn’t important enough to keep track of dummy.
Oh no social shaming however will that anon recover
>that anon
Uh huh.
>Attempting to be smug while being so obviously underaged, ignorant or a shill
Amazing
I already called you a israelite here
. Or did your shift turn over in Tel Aviv for the JIDF?
>your file.
moron>
Unless you're in a massive city you'll probably not even have to go in
Do your civic duty anon, for fricks sake, no one even wants to participate in society and they wonder why it’s crumbling. It’s not hard to be on a jury anon, and it’s your duty as an American.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you.
White= not guilty
Black= guilty
they explain the case to you and ask if you might have any trouble being impartial. just give a reason why you won't be able to find one side accountable.
for example, a malpractice case -> "well my uncle's a doctor and works really hard, i don't think i'd be able to really find a doctor at fault as long as he did his best" or "a doctor fricked up and now it hurts every time I move my shoulder, i don't really have much sympathy for doctors"
police brutality case -> "my dad's a cop and he almost got in trouble once because someone who was obviously guilty tried to claim he was too rough during the arrest"
don't listen to the moronic advice of children who have never actually been to jury duty just parroting what others have said, or saying meme shit they think is funny like "say you're racist" or "bring a copy of mein kampf" or "i believe in jury nullification"
t. someone who literally just got done with jury duty.
There's a disqualification slip that comes with the notice, send that in with "My English is bad" marked or whatever the language one is.
I did that ten years ago. They recently started sending me jury duty notices but I just throw them away. I'm already on record as being permanently disqualified so frick them.
Why would you so desperately want to avoid jury duty? I think it would be interesting, plus you could contribute to the incarceration statistics for black men.
It's an enormous waste of time.
It's hard to say no to a free lunch
I had jury duty last year and went anyway. Can't complain about free money. Also, my job paid me for the days I missed. The case was some Jerry Springer level shit.
"i know about jury nullification"
>say 'you'd make a great juror, I can spot a guilty person, *snap, just like that, it's all in the eyes.
Frick avoiding jury duty, act cool and get on the jury and then do whatever you can to nullify, 99% of the time it's a white person being charged with some bullshit, everyone knows Black folk get let off on plea deals
Nah the system is stacked aginst us blackfolx
>gets out on a violent crime charge for the 6th time
Who gives a shit. The tenants live in a fricking crime fortress. They knew the risk. Dredd improved things if anything.
Go ahead and tell me when he could have "just walked away." You think it was unreasonable to investigate a murder?
>just let me produce and distribute drugs that lead to even more crime and violence
Lol no
Everyone who Dredd killed deserved it.
>He only kills criminals.
This. He's basically robocop but human. If IRL cops were like this people wouldn't despise them as much.
It's fricked up that the one of the takeaways of the police state nightmare setting is that it would be nice for a single cop to actually give a frick about the law.
>police state nightmare
Are you fricking stupid. The megacity is a overpopulated crimeridden shithole. It's explained in THE FIRST 5 SECONDS OF THE MOVIE
It's a case of drastic times call for drastic measures
I'm familiar with the setting, thanks. It's still, quite intentionally, a police state nightmare.
>crime everywhere
>rampant violence and anarchy
>gangs control everything
>police step in
>"DUDE THIS IS LITERALLY NAZI GERMANY"
Yeah nah
>using the conditions of the setting to justify the actions of the characters
>when the writers are in full control of those conditions
What the frick are you even saying
>writers should change the entire setting and characters personality because... THEY JUST SHOULD OK
If you didn't like it frick off. It worked well as a story
Dredd’s actions don’t need to be justified it’s the criminal scum he’s dealing with that need their shit checked. Dress is the shit checker.
>a police state nightmare
Don't use terms you don't understand. There is no police state if the police state is losing against criminals.
How is there no police state if there is a police state to lose against criminals?
Dredd is the complete opposite of a police state nightmare dude, what the frick
>give a frick about the law
That’s how you usually start out as a cop in a large city. Then as your career progresses you realize that almost none of the arrests you make ever get prosecuted and almost none of the work you do has any effect whatsoever and you just stop giving a frick.
>t. cop in large liberal city
>>t. cop in large liberal city
If you're white unironically come to Idaho, we have a high police percentage and shit actually gets done here.
>Then as your career progresses you realize that almost none of the arrests you make ever get prosecuted and almost none of the work you do has any effect whatsoever and you just stop giving a frick
Stop arresting random homeless people then you homosexual.
The homeless people should probably stop committing an insane amount of crime, you shitlib moron.
Maybe you should do your job better and make sure there is enough prosecutable evidence before you make some empty arrest homosexual. Imagine being mad at some hobo because you're an inept wagie cuck
I'd gladly put a bullet in your head if we met on the street.
Of course you would since you're a shit, murder-happy, cop who doesn't deserve the worthless badge pinned on your fat chest. Thankfully you won't ever find me on the streets though, more than likely I'd be fricking your wife while your on your "endless" OT. Someone needs to take care of her while she takes care of "your" sons
Lol you’re so mad. What was it? A DUI or DV arrest?
Nice deflection, None of the above. Tax attorney so thankfully I don't have to deal with your ineptitude at all apart from when you greet me with a "Sir" at the door to the courthouse when there is a collections case I have to deal with.
IRS Agents are more competent at their jobs. At the very least they don't threaten to kill the very people they're sworn to protect over two sentences on the internet.
better idea. next time you're wallowing in self pity deep in the bourbon bottle at 3am, put one in your own and do the world a favour
Poverty should be a felony, shitlib
Then move. Frick the city. Go somewhere you'll make a difference
>move to bumfrick nowhere
>get paid 90% less
Yeah no thanks
Unfortunately this is the case. I literally only keep doing this job because it pays well, OT is endless, and it allows my wife to stay home and take care of my sons. This city could burn to the fricking ground and I wouldn’t give a shit if the paychecks kept coming in. If the voters don’t give a frick, why should I?
Grim
Why even keep living if all you care about is money. Is this what it's like to get older. Frick
>He still thinks we all care about each other 🙂
>He wasn't fully redpilled about society after covid
Oh you sweet naive thing
The #1 priority for any man is to make enough money to live as far away and in as much comfort from the disgusting NPC's as possible
Hello moron
Yeah I'm sure none of it has to do with being in a homosexual gang exclusively serving their own interests
>serving their own interests
Yes, quite literally I only do the job for my own interests. If it didn’t pay well and have great benefits I’d do something else. Just like every other person on Earth.
I don't believe every other job on earth is categorized as "public servant", so forgive me for seeing cops having their heads up each other's asses as a bit of a negative
Well frick, I should do the job for free. How about you too?
You are mistaking the term "serving their own interests" as "working for money at all." I was expecting this to be a larp, but I'm starting to believe you're at least academy material, considering it's possible to be too smart for the force. I don't think you have that problem.
Seething and poor
you're a cop you don't know shit about the law or prosecuting crimes
there's tons of factors that affect whether they choose to prosecute.
you don't like it when morons assume they could do your job better than you can do you? why are you doing it to others.
Because he's a low iq cop duh
Dredd does not only kill criminals. He has nuked entire cities.
To be fair, that city was overrun by an incurable madness-plague and the Sovs had already launched nukes at MC1 (and hit, killing millions of civilians).
I refuse to believe that people need to have the character of Judge Dredd explained to them.
It doesn't even apply to whatever OP is claiming because he was never even given the chance to just let things lay (not that he WOULD take it), unless he's somehow a stubborn bastard for choosing to show up and look into the skinned bodies.

But why. They have the best job in the megacity apart from like, uper echelon. Why the frick would you risk it especially when the department keeps such a close eye on them
Not even sure what the point of receiving bribes are.
What are they going to spend it on? The whole city is a shithole and the cops are living the cop life 24/7.
Gambling, drugs, hookers
Money and the belief that they could easily get away with it.
Dredd is literally the only good cop left in that city from what we're shown. Sure his ways might not be perfect but he actually does care about justice as he sees it and enforces it indiscriminately
there are plenty of others, you just don't see them in the movie since they're not important
Did you watch the same movie? Judge Anderson is right there.
She technically wasn't a cop until the end right? You got me
No, from the start of the evaluation she's a full Judge with all the responsibilities and powers. She even executes a guy after passing judgment on him. The idea is if she failed she would lose that authority. But she passed.
What is it with right wingers thinking we either have to have a complete authoritarian locked down police state with commando cops running around lynching jaywalkers or else it's complete and total anarchy. Like damn we're not asking for the fricking police to not do anything just stop being buttholes and help people instead of being unofficial brown shirts.
No one said that. have a nice day
First off, u big mad stinky britches. Second, this is literally what every boomer rightard says/thinks when the police are brought up so why don't you go kiss yourself in the ass goodbye.
>dude this strawman I made up just now totally says this
No one said it.
>Leftwing deflection
>Reality:
>the real truthful news the article is referring to
my friend all of this is because of the way our political parties have finally realized they can weaponize identity politics
it used to be pre-2000 we could all agree as americans on certain things. there was no need to look at fellow americans hatefully, people argued about things in good faith and liked their neighbors. we even had a commonly held belief of "don't talk politics and religion" specifically because we knew these things are just going to lead to fights over nothing.
unfortunately the human beings are extremely susceptible to tribal behaviors and therefore stand no chance against our cynical politicians using identity politics against us like this.
we can't just agree that things like a police officer going into the wrong apartment and murdering a young female EMT in her sleep is wrong, or that police standing between a school shooter and parents as children are murdered inside a school in Uvalde is wrong, because people have now made politics their whole identity and just can not bear to think that they might have "lost" on a single issue in a specific instance.
everyone has to go balls to the wall all the fricking time, if someone is on the right they automatically have to defend every moronic thing the right does, even if it's heinous. likewise the people on the left have to defend every moronic thing the left does.
for example I don't care about gay people, go do whatever you want. but I obviously have a problem with shit like allowing 4 year olds to transition and taking away kids from parents who wont let toddlers transition. but i'm the exception, people feel like if they say that they're somehow betraying themselves or something
i really don't know how this country is going to come back from this, i think we're just doomed to keep deteriorating because the politicians are not going to stop doing it for their own benefit
i'm right wing and i'm pretty anti-authoritarian.
Ummm, sweaty...we should have supercops who shoot commies and also help real people
You're only stuck with such a decision if the quality of the people is very low.
Right wingers are not the un-nuanced ones. You are. Right wingers ask for basic law and order, i.e. you steal you get arrested. Lefties are the ones currently trying to decriminalize theft and were cheering on hordes of looters across the country in 2020.
The "Dredd loving right winger" is a strawman. The chaos loving lefties are the truth. Literally just respect basic law and order you fricking homosexual.
Not to mention recent events
>you can't even defend yourself in public or in your home now from Black folk without drawing the attention of a DA who wants to throw the book at you and the lefty horde of social media looking to ruin your entire life and being
The gaslighter loves to whine about the response to his insanity
Look at this seething Black person and her (his) Redditspacing. Baffling.
don't allow criminals to steal cause damage or anything else, in any normal country we call the police when someone is acting like an anti social spastic, for some reason in the US you allow black people to get away with being criminal spastics, its fricking weird
That's any melting pot, moron.
>right wingers thinking we either have to have a complete authoritarian locked down police state with commando cops running around lynching jaywalkers
Imagine thinking this after two years of leftist lockdowns and Summer of Love.
did dredd act according to rules and regulations
Technically Dredd isn't a cop. Cops claim they are not a defence force. If Dredd is hunting down criminals hes not fulfilling the role of a cop, which is to do nothing until they commit a crime. He more like a state bounty hunter and committing extra judicial sentence.
He's a Judge.
well thats the premise that crime is so out of control they have done away with courts and just grant the power to pass sentences to the "cops"
But the Judges aren't cols at all, they are actually Mega cities ruling party and their form of government.
The setting actually does still have courts, mostly used for civil matters, people already in the 'cubes making appeals, etc. There's an older comic I can't find at the moment where Dredd is reassigned to work there for a day and absolutely can't deal with it since all he knows is being out on the streets cracking heads.
>they are actually Mega cities ruling party and their form of government.
You're correct here, though. The Justice Department controls Mega City One, and it has all sorts of people other than street Judges like Dredd- accountants, undercovers, paper-pushers, vehicle repairmen, medical personnel, civilian auxiliaries for things like meat wagons, etc. Some of the other Mega-Cities like the one in Britain still have regular plain-clothes detectives and such, even. It's just that "Judge Marvin files the paperwork for the new 23-cred Munceburger tax two days before deadline" is hardly interesting reading material for most people.
>anon claims to be a police officer
>starts threatening to shoot other anons in the head on the street
Is that the party van I hear?
It's only illegal if you directly threaten people by name like those morons on /misc/ did.
>H-Have anything to say to....W-Welcome to florida...
It'd be hilarious if one of these guys seethed so hard about being arrested they did go and kill him when they got out.
They're clear glowies
why do you anacucks not understand the law? you remind me of these anacucks that came on here during the blm shit and kept trying to bait anons into saying something they assumed was illegal.
One of you anacucks then admitted they had unregistered illegal firearms in america and posted pics and everything. People then told him he had been reported and he had a big long cry
is it possible it was ironically written, like on purpose knowing all that shit. just tard checkin
not his problem
you just described what happens in fricking Mexico: authorities don't stir le shit, the shit keeps growing and growing till it splashes out of the toilet
>innocent people
If you read the comic you'll see that life in the Mega cities is not really all that bad for most citizens.
As America's libtard cities start crumbling, more films like this will be made. Warriors, Robocop, Dirty Harry, Escape from New York and LA, these were all made during a period of very high crime
>America's libtard cities
You mean the only real cities in the country (like Austin, Seattle, NYC, etc.)?
It seems silly to me that in the 2000 A.D. comics the Earth is capable of FTL space travel yet most of the planet remains a barren wasteland. Either fix the planet, fix humans so they can survive outside the mega cities, or colonize somewhere else.
that's from the megazine stuff with the frontier worlds and the super-heavy 40K inspiration, right? i always forget that's actually canon in the same world since regular, non-FTL spaceships make so many appearances
Humans are already fixing themselves by becoming mutants adapted to live in the wastelands.
>dredd enters your megastructure
>drug bust

Yes. Judge Dredd was satire.
The whole point of police state satire as embodied in Judge Dredd is that EVERYONE is guilty of SOMETHING and that when you push that to a ludicrous "nothing matters but the law" degree the entire world ends up in prison.
Then midwits got ahold of it and it just became "h-he's a cool badass he shoots bad guys..."
>Then midwits got ahold of it and it just became "h-he's a cool badass he shoots bad guys..."
the creator himself has caught himself being guilty of that
Judge Dredd was originally not supposed to be satire at all, funny maybe but not political satire.
The assistant writer pushed that because he was a colossal leftwing dickhead.
The main writer fired him and came back and said ok if its going to be satirical, i'll do it the way it was intended. So he wrote the Democracy story arc, which is hilarious because it just proves that the Judges are right.
Turning Dredd into a full satire was the best thing that happened to the character. Had they not done that, the character would have been forgotten long ago.
but thats the point it was never meant to be that so the main writer corrected it.
Which produced the best Dredd writing. Far more nuanced than simply cops are fash maaan tier writing.
Democracy arc has the democrat terrorists nuke part of the city. upsetting the entire population and causing everyone to vote for the Judges to rule them, it explains why they came into power in the first place.
If you disobey the law, you are responsible of the destruction arresting you causes.

there's a couple guides floating around Cinemaphile but good luck finding them since no one discusses comics there now

2OOOAD was the 1st comic series I read as a kid back in '92. Then I ventured out and began to read Batman and Spiderman. I always felt Dredd was the best comic character. More an anti-hero than someone you really champion.

>it’s Dredd’s fault you broke the law
Anarchy is a special form of moron
Stallone's Judge Dredd was a better adaptation, the people behind it realized that the comicbook is an absurdist comedy and the movie should follow suit, meanwhile Urban's Dredd was a shitty Raid ripoff, and Stallone actually had the chin to play Judge Dredd, Urban looks like a bad cosplay.
>BIG IS BEAUTIFUL
Literally prescient. Perfectly predicted the body positivity and haes movements.
What else did Dredd comics predict?
corp wars, their is a very serious war about mcd's vs burgur king, thats a real thing in dredd
it was written and filmed before Raid, Raid ripped off Dredd, literally the script for dredd was stolen to make Raid, not he other way around
Started playing Cyberpunk again after two years or so and the standard gameplay of killing random gang members or storming hideouts is peak Dredd.
Shame that the actual story and all of the major characters are so shitty and forced.
Dredd doesn't compromise. Judges follow the law to the letter in a dystopia or more people die.
>he's my wife's son
But he got the job done, OP.
>obsession with the law and inability to just walk away.
He tries to just walk away multiple times in the film. He lets that bum sitting in the doorframe off with a warning, only deciding to arrest him when he comes back half an hour later and he's still sitting in the same spot, and is immediately proven to have been right to have told the guy to move as he's crushed by the door. And more importantly he was totally content to just bust a few drug dealers and leave, Mama was the one who locked him in the building and demanded everyone in the building try to kill him. And then the most civilian deaths were when the judges were just trying to find a way outside the building and Mama starts mowing down the whole floor with miniguns like an autist. If Dredd hadn't decided to take her down then, it was only a matter of time before she would've dragged everyone into a massive gang war as she tried to expand her Slo-Mo distribution, probably ending with the entire building being blown to shit by her dead-man's switch bombs once someone or something got lucky and wasted her.
If anything, despite being fine with killing perps that did something worth it, Urban Dredd is otherwise pretty lenient compared to other Dredds.
This movie was so fricking good.
Why don't movie writers take notes on how to do a sci-fi movie in an already established piece of intellectual property.
Small scale adventure that doesn't hold the universe in the balance, and might as well be episodic. That's what we want. At the end of the day Dredd goes back to being the same Dredd he was at the beginning of the movie, because he has an entire anthology of other episodic adventures to complete.
It would require modern writers keeping their egos at bay.
There's actually a checklist of what they think makes a film good. World ending scale is one of the things on it.
that's why i started watching mando back then. and then they go and introduce baby yoda in episode 1
watch the pajeet himself explain its really fricking tough to get a movie like this made
He's needs to do the needful and give us a sequel.
that vid is him explaining exactly why he can't do that
sir, sir... NO SIR. LISTEN. SAAR. DO NEEDFUL YOU BLOODY HOLLYWOOD MAN
thing that really sucks is that dude did some really good shit in his time, the grey fricking awesome, so is dredd of course and a few others not a huge fan of machine gun preacher but its still good, the guy really was trying to make some kino

>if its more then it will

love this dude
Movie Dredd understands the importance of going between the lines, law-wise. He gives Anderson a pass.
literally just dont commit crime. is it that hard? like stop preying on people lol
did he do so according to rules and regulations
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
It's a dystopia for a reason hunny.. did that giant point fly over your head? the point given in the actual first few seconds of the film? maybe go back to bluey and anime.
Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because...
I AM THE LAW!
And you won't frick around no more - I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I AM THE LAW
Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City... I AM THE LAW

LAW - It's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war
>Dredd should've compromised with the evil psychopaths in an failed attempt to save lives
Let me guess, you're a Liberal and you vote for Democrats?
You've got to remember that there are nowhere near enough Judges to properly police the Mega Cities. 99% of the time people get away with crimes. The idea is that the Judges are so harsh as a deterrent to would-be criminals.
Whether that system actually works is questionable and is the main theme of the story.
The theme was honestly really interesting to me because it kind of parallels IRL history. Back in ancient times you could get away with literally 99% of crimes by just not being there when the law showed up, but they were super quick to brutally murder anyone they did catch. I guess the punishment has be severe enough that the average person wouldn’t want to commit the crime, but the more likely they can get away with no punishment at all, the more the ones who do get caught need to be made examples of.
Everyone he executed deserved it. Why do you liberals love criminals, especially violent ones, so much?
It just seems very strange to me that this wasn't followed up on with an Olivia Thirlby movie after it found cult status.
Lower budget, maybe straight to streaming.
Dredd fans would all watch it.
Judge Anderson is a very popular character and even has her own comic series.
It would be really cool if real life cops actually just cared about the law rather than swinging their authority around just because. I imagine cops get off on normal people having to lick their boots or the cop will make up a reason to take your ass to jail and mess your day up. Not even like straight up disrespect sets them off, but just exercising basic rights by not answering every single question about who you are and where you live when you're not even doing anything.
Dredd is kind of comforting in the fact that he doesn't give a frick about your demeanor as long as it's not illegal. Though I bet the Dredd universe has lots of laws that criminalize trivial things. My only interaction with the comics was that one where other Judges bust into his apartment to search it, basically destroy and ransack it, and he sits there quietly reading a law book.
