Summary
Miranda Priestly runs her office like a dictator, but did she actually break any laws? In this episode, three New Jersey attorneys put The Devil Wears Prada (2006) on trial just days before the sequel drops. From hostile work environment claims under Title VII to overtime violations under the FLSA, we dig into whether Andy has any real legal standing or just a really bad boss. We also tackle the Harry Potter manuscript scene (definitely copyright infringement), the Nigel/James Holt betrayal (probably not estoppel), and whether Emily has a workers' comp claim after getting hit by a car mid-errand. Spoiler: Miranda knows exactly how far she can push the envelope without crossing the line, and honestly, we kind of respect it.
