* Several [[BioWare]] games (''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'', ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'', and ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'') have sidequests where you either act as an attorney for a quest-giver, or are accused of something and have to defend yourself. Usually they involve all of collecting evidence, interviewing people, and making the right statements at court.

* Parodied in ''[[Chasing the Sunset]]'': "[[All Bikers Are Hells Angels|The Hell's Pixies]]" invoked [http://www.fantasycomic.com/index.php?p=c372 Pixie Law] when one of them "alledges to be the rightful owner of a necklace currently in the possession of Feiht". The first problem being that they all are [[The Fair Folk|pixies]] - and the first time we have seen two pixies together, they stole some shiny things from each other right during the greeting. Pixies themselves perfectly understand how ludicrous this is, of course. Even before the hearing started, it turned out that pixies' idea of law is fuzzier than a kitten. [[Hilarity Ensues|Comedy ensues]].
