Episode 8: "Prayers for Rain"

Learned Hands: The Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association

In this episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry & Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire ask: In the drought in the Sworn Sword, did Rohanne Webber have the right to dam the Chequey Water?

Our analysis this week includes:

• Rohanne Webber thirst! And thirst in general!
• We all learn about riparian water rights and conceptions of water use!
• The kids are overjoyed to discuss an ACTUAL! WESTEROSI! LEGAL! DOCUMENT!
• A search ensues for other Westerosi water use issues, which ends up on Tywin!
• Merry details how Eustace Osgrey is an annoying client!
• Clint gets strangely excited to do a dramatic reading of the Blackfyre speech!
• Everyone firmly refuses to do basic math on 20 trees!
• A final JUDGMENT is rendered.
