Line 40:
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', Harry is repeatedly being sued by talk show host Larry Fowler for allegedly damaging his studio during an interview. Fortunately, the suit never really gets anywhere, as not only does Harry have a good lawyer (thanks to the fact that he found the lawyer's daughter's lost pet), but the argument that "the wizard fried my studio's electronics via magic by being near them" likely earned a few stern glares from the judge. Sometimes, the [[Extra-Strength Masquerade]] is ''useful.''
** ''Un''fortunately, Fowler just keeps trying, book after book. Even when Harry doesn't lose the case, all the court fees pile up.
* Deconstructed in ''[[Hench]]'': When the protagonist isn't able to take the superhero who crippled her to court, she pleads her case online, in the court of public opinion. This brings the matter to the public's attention - and paints a target on her back.
