Magical Legalism
The Volokh Conspiracy is soliciting suggestions of works that fall into the genre of magical legalism:
"stories about law or lawyers that are basically set in the real world but with some magical or fantastic twist"
I suggested the episode of the Simpsons with The Devil and Homer Simpson where Homer goes on trial after selling his soul to the devil for a donut. The jury of the damned rules in favor of Homer after they learn he first gave his soul to Marge when they married, thus the soul is the legal property of Marge. I also suggested the Harry Potter books because several people in the books including Potter are put on trial for various magical offenses.
